8. ### Calculating Overall Relative Bias

I am in some trouble to understand how is to calculate the overall relative bias. In this link, there are results of overall relative bias in "Parameter estimates" sub-section under "Results" section. There they mentioned that : Could you please explain me how did they calculate it? I had...
9. ### Coverage Probability

Let U0 denotes intercept variance and U1 denotes slope variance. Given that the coverage rate for the intercept variance is 91% (U0) , and the coverage rate for the slope variance is 91.2% (U1) . Also nominal coverage rate is 95%. Then it is written that I have not understood from the...
