This file contains 2 tables generated by SAS Proc MI and Macro language for the two

variable design. Table C1 contains the empirical biases and SEs for the MI estimates ()
when z1 N(0, 1) & z2 N(0, 1); Table C4 contains the empirical biases and SEs for the
when z1 LNs (0, 1/2) & z2 N(0, 1). More details are described in
