The power contour corresponding to a generalized estimating equation t-test with n = 12 health services and cluster size m = 46 by varying within-period correlation α0 and interperiod correlation α1 under (A) a gently increasing period effect, (B) no period effect, and (C) a gently decreasing period effect. All displayed correlation values ensure a positive definite correlation matrix and are hence plausible
