Notes: The missing proportion is 28% for the data with continuous outcome, 32% for the data with binary outcomes and 35% for the data with count outcomes. The true exchangeable correlation structure is used for both models. Bias is the difference between the mean of the parameter estimates and the true value; SE is the mean of the standard error estimates and MSE is the mean square error of the parameter estimates.
