Table 7.

Simulation results for β when n = 3000 and the binary responses have correlation 0.05. Estimate is the mean, Estimated se is the mean of the estimated standard errors, Actual se is the actual standard deviation of the estimates, and Coverage is the actual coverage of a nominal 95% confidence interval. The average total number of cases across the simulation = 7,975.
