Table 3.

Summary statistics of the estimators from simulated datasets based on real data for equal number of cases and controls. Bias: absolute difference between the true value of ϕ_adj(t) and the mean of the point estimator. ESD: sampling standard deviation. ASE: mean of asymptotic-based standard error estimates. CR pointwise: coverage rate of 95% pointwise confidence intervals. CR: coverage rate of 95% simultaneous confidence bands.
