Relative Sensitivity of Selected Distributed Lag Estimators to Measurement and Specification Error

Ridge Stochastic Restricted Estimators in Semiparametric Linear Measurement Error Models

In this article we consider the stochastic restricted ridge estimation in semipara-metric linear models when the covariates are measured with additive errors. The development of penalized corrected likelihood method in such model is the basis for derivation of ridge estimates. The asymptotic normality of the resulting estimates are established. Also, necessary and sufficient condition...

Wavelet-based functional linear mixed models: an application to measurement error-corrected distributed lag models.

Frequently, exposure data are measured over time on a grid of discrete values that collectively define a functional observation. In many applications, researchers are interested in using these measurements as covariates to predict a scalar response in a regression setting, with interest focusing on the most biologically relevant time window of exposure. One example is in panel studies of the he...

Semiparametric estimators of functional measurement error models with unknown error

We consider functional measurement error models where the measurement error distribution is estimated non-parametrically.We derive a locally efficient semiparametric estimator but propose not to implement it owing to its numerical complexity. Instead, a plug-in estimator is proposed, where the measurement error distribution is estimated through non-parametric kernel methods based on multiple me...

Application of distributed lag and autocorrelated error models to short-run demand analysis

Locally efficient semiparametric estimators for functional measurement error models

A class of semiparametric estimators are proposed in the general setting of functional measurement error models. The estimators follow from estimating equations that are based on the semiparametric efficient score derived under a possibly incorrect distributional assumption for the unobserved ‘measured with error’ covariates. It is shown that such estimators are consistent and asymptotically no...
