.

I'm running now at lower values of rho, which are more typical of my data (.05 < rho < .15).

I agree simulating at larger rho's is smart because estimating rho accurately is not easy with small samples, so I should look at the upper bound of the estimated CI of rho.

This is fascinating stuff! I wonder if reviewers will buy this kind of supporting documentation for analysis choice down the road.

Thanks Joseph.

It would be better to have:

generate double mu = invlogit(trt * `delta' + ///
sqrt(`rho' / (1 - `rho') * _pi^2 / 3) * invnormal(uniform()))

Conclusions regarding the t test with sum scores versus transformed mean scores are the same.

It takes time to run the do-file, because of the addition of - xtlogit- in order to verify delta and rho. For anyone interested but time-pressed, results are listed below:
