## Abstract Competition has never been greater, which means it is more important than ever that organizations assess their brand management strategies, including brand personality management. However, little empirical research addresses the brand personality concept, particularly its role in produc

✦ Synopsis
Regression techniques are commonly applied to compare two or more analytical methods at several concentration levels. The paper considers consistent estimation in measurement error models with known different variances typically used in such situations. The approach is based on the corrected score methodology, which allows the derivation of consistent estimators for the model parameters and also for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the parameter estimators. Thus, Wald type statistics are proposed for testing hypothesis related to the bias of the analytical methods with the asymptotic chi-square distribution, which guarantees correct asymptotic significance levels. Results of small-scale simulation studies are reported to illustrate comparisons with other approaches. Applications to real data sets are also considered.

Least squares provides consistent estimates of the regression coefficients pin the model E [ Y 1 x] = P x when fully accurate measurements of x are available. However, in biomedical studies one must frequently substitute unreliable measurements X in place of x. This induces bias in the least squares
## Abstract A linear regression model with random walk coefficients is extended to allow for linear restrictions between the coefficients to be satisfied at each point in time. Estimation in this model is shown to be no more involved than estimation in the standard model. It is also demonstrated ho
