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

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we consider measurement error models when the observed random vectors are independent and have mean vector and covariance matrix changing with each observation. The asymptotic behavior of the sample mean vector and the sample covariance matrix are studied for such models. Using the derived results, we study the case of the elliptical multiplicative error-in-variables models, providing formal justification for the asymptotic distribution of consistent slope parameter estimators. The model considered extends a normal model previously considered in the literature. Asymptotic relative efficiencies comparing several estimators are also reported.

Estimation methods are considered for regression models which have both misclassified discrete covariates and continuous covariates measured with error. Adjusted parameter estimates are obtained using the method of data augmentation, where the true values of the covariates measured with error are re
Statistical methodology is presented for the statistical analysis of non-linear measurement error models. Our approach is to provide adjustments for the usual maximum likelihood estimators, their standard errors and associated significance tests in order to account for the presence of measurement er
In estimating spatial disease patterns, as well as in related assessments of environmental equity, regional morbidity and mortality rate maps are widely used. Hierarchical Bayes methods are increasingly popular tools for creating such maps, since they permit smoothing of the fitted rates toward spat
