Table 4.

Treatment effect estimates using each approach with corresponding standard error, p-value, design effect, maximum ASB and number of trees for dog ownership study; tm(Y, X) indicates the MSE-based method that uses outcome information, tm(X) indicates the MSE-based method that does not use outcome information, ta(0.20) and ta(0.10) indicate the ASB-based methods that use a 0.20 and 0.10 threshold, respectively, tp(0.05) and tp(0.10) indicate the p-value based methods that use a 0.05 and 0.10 threshold, respectively
