Generating the Data Sample Clauses

Generating the Data. For the following simulations we consider the scenario in which there is one dichoto- mous covariate associated with each of ZMU , ZBU , YTRUE, and ZREP . See Appendix C for details on how parameter values were chosen for the scenario representing a mild relationship between reporting occurrence and YTRUE. Once those parameters were established, alternative for values β0REP and β2REP were chosen to represent the more extreme relationship. In addition to representing a more extreme association, the parameter values were also selected such that the number of observed false zeros would be the similar between the mild association and the extreme association with YTRUE and reporting. The parameter values used for simulating the data are in Table
