Table 2 Estimate and 95% confidence interval for the concordance correlation coefficient (\({\widehat{\rho }}_{\tiny {\text{ c }}}\)) between the true and estimated statistic, and point estimates for the Pearson correlation coefficient (\({\widehat{\rho }}\)); bias correction factor (\({\widehat{C}}_b\)); and root mean square deviation (RMSD) in each case within scenario
