A Monte Carlo Study of Alternative Responses to Intraclass Correlation in Community Trials: Is It Ever Possible to Avoid Cornfield's Penalties?

Murray, David M.; And Others

Evaluation Review, v20 n3 p313-37 Jun 1996

Strategies to avoid the penalties of extra variation described by J. Cornfield and reduced degrees of freedom in community-level trials were compared in Monte Carlo simulations. The three conditions necessary to ensure nominal Type I and Type II error rates are detailed. (SLD)
