- aEstimates of the log odds ratio have been averaged over 1200 simulated datasets from each scenario
- bCoverage indicates the percentage of datasets in each scenario where the true value of the SACE was within the bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval of the marginal structural model
- MSE Mean square error, SACE Survivor average causal effect, SB Standardized bias as a percentage, SE Empirical standard error, SP Sensitivity parameter.
- ORUY is the odds ratio effect of U on the outcome. ORUZ is the odds ratio effect of U on survival. τ is the ratio of the odds of the outcome following high iron intake between compliant-survivors and always-survivors. True SACE log odds ratio = ln(0.6) = − 0.511.
