β¦ Synopsis
Linear regression models are studied when variables of interest are observed in the presence of measurement error. Techniques involving Fourier transforms that lead to simple differential equations with unique solutions are used in the context of multiple regression. Necessary and sufficient conditions are proven for a random vector of measurement error of the independent variable to be multivariate normal. One characterization involves the Fisher score of the observed vector. A second characterization involves the Hessian matrix of the observed density.

In dietary epidemiology, the key nutrient variables are often expressed in the quintile scale. The nutrients are often measured with error and it is of interest to consider estimates of relative risk for exposures in the quintile scale corrected for measurement error. In this paper, I propose a meas
Two new error-in-variables methods to estimate the reactivity ratios are developed. These are based on variants of the Skeist solution of the copolymerization equation. One method is suitable when one of the reactivity ratios is close to one and the other is for use when both ratios are close to one
