The paper studies the problem of estimating the upper end point of a finite interval when the data come from a uniform distribution on this interval and are disturbed by normally distributed measurement errors with known variance. Maximum likelihood and method of moments estimators are...

In a structural error model the structural quasi score (SQS) estimator is based on the distribution of the latent regressor variable. If this distribution is misspecified the SQS estimator is (asymptotically) biased. Two types of misspecification are considered. Both assume that the statistician...

For instance nutritional data are often subject to severe measurement error, and an adequate adjustment of the estimators is indispensable to avoid deceptive conclusions. This paper discusses and extends the method of regression calibration to correct for measurement error in Cox regression....

The Poisson distribution has been widely used for modelling rater agreement using loglinear models. Mostly in all life or social science researches, subjects are being classified into categories by rater, interviewers or observers and most of these tables indicate that the cell counts are...

We compare the asymptotic covariance matrix of the ML estimator in a nonlinear measurement error model to the asymptotic covariance matrices of the CS and SQS estimators studied in Kukush et al (2002). For small measurement error variances they are equal up to the order of the measurement error...

We study the effect of additive and multiplicative Berkson measurement error in Cox proportional hazard model. By plotting the true and the observed Survivor function and the true and the observed hazard function dependent on the exposure one can get ideas about the effect of this type of error...

The paper is a survey of recent investigations by the authors and others into the relative efficiencies of structural and functional estimators of the regression parameters in a measurement error model. While structural methods, in particular the quasi-score (QS) method, take advantage of the...
