Consistency of the structured total least squares estimator in a multivariate errors-in-variables model

چکیده
The structured total least squares estimator, defined via a constrained optimization problem, is a generalization of the total least squares estimator when the data matrix and the applied correction satisfy given structural constraints. In the paper, an affine structure with additional assumptions is considered. In particular, Toeplitz and Hankel structured, noise free and unstructured blocks are allowed simultaneously in the augmented data matrix. An equivalent optimization problem is derived that has as decision variables only the estimated parameters. The cost function of the equivalent problem is used to prove consistency of the structured total least squares estimator. The results for the general affine structured multivariate model are illustrated by examples of special models. Modification of the results for block-Hankel/Toeplitz structures is also given. As a by-product of the analysis of the cost function, an iterative algorithm for the computation of the structured total least squares estimator is proposed.

Total Least Squares Approach in Regression Methods
Total least squares (TLS) is a data modelling technique which can be used for many types of statistical analysis, e.g. a regression. In the regression setup, both dependent and independent variables are considered to be measured with errors. Thereby, the TLS approach in statistics is sometimes called an errors-invariables (EIV) modelling and, moreover, this type of regression is usually known a...
متن کاملA consistent estimator in general functionalerrors - in - variables models
The problem of estimation in nonlinear functional errors-in-variables model is considered. A modiied least squares estimator is studied, its consistency and asymptotic normality is established both for temporal and for spatial observations. Simulation results are also presented showing the good performance of the estimator in small sample situations.
متن کاملOn Local Linear Estimation in Nonparametric Errors-in-variables Models
Local linear methods are applied to a nonparametric regression model with normal errors in the variables and uniform distribution of the variables. The local neighborhood is determined with help of deconvolution kernels. Two different linear estimation method are used: the naive estimator and the total least squares estimator. Both local linear estimators are consistent. But only the local naiv...
متن کاملRecursive Generalized Total Least Squares with Noise Covariance Estimation
We propose a recursive generalized total least-squares (RGTLS) estimator that is used in parallel with a noise covariance estimator (NCE) to solve the errors-in-variables problem for multi-input-single-output linear systems with unknown noise covariance matrix. Simulation experiments show that the suggested RGTLS with NCE procedure outperforms the common recursive least squares (RLS) and recurs...
متن کاملConsistent estimation in an implicit quadratic measurement error model
An adjusted least squares estimator is derived that yields a consistent estimate of the parameters of an implicit quadratic measurement error model. In addition, a consistent estimator for the measurement error noise variance is proposed. Important assumptions are: (1) all errors are uncorrelated identically distributed and (2) the error distribution is normal. The estimators for the quadratic ...
