Table 2. Mean point estimates, standard errors and coverage (of 95% confidence interval) for the CAT, GMTE(1), GMTE(0) RGMTE and MR estimates across six simulation scenarios.

In each case, the true GMTE is fixed at -0.5. Unbiased estimates and associated standard errors/coverages are highlighted in bold.
