Adjusted least squares (ALS) estimators for the conic section problem are considered. Consistency of the translation invariant version of ALS estimator is proved. The similarity invariance of the ALS estimator with estimated noise variance is shown. The conditions for consistency of the ALS...

A linear functional errors-in-variables model with unknown slope parameter and Gaussian errors is considered. The measurement error variance is supposed to be known, while the variance of errors in the equation is unknown. In this model a risk bound of asymptotic minimax type for arbitrary...
