Figure 2

Real power of cluster randomized trials according to the discrepancy between the a priori postulated and a posteriori estimated intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). The ICC is a priori postulated at 0.020 and sample sizes (N) and associated powers were calculated: 1°) assuming Pareto repartition of cluster sizes and using 3 corrections of the variance inflation factor (equal weights, cluster size weights and minimum variance weights), 2°) assuming constant cluster size (reference).
