Quasi Score is more efficient than Corrected Score in a polynomial measurement error model

چکیده
We consider a polynomial regression model, where the covariate is measured with Gaussian errors. The measurement error variance is supposed to be known. The covariate is normally distributed with known mean and variance. Quasi Score (QS) and Corrected Score (CS) are two consistent estimation methods, where the first makes use of the distribution of the covariate (structural method), while the latter does not (functional method). It may therefore be surmised that the former method is (asymptotically) more efficient than the latter one. This can, indeed, be proved for the regression parameters. We do this by introducing a third, so-called Simple Score (SS), estimator, the efficiency of which turns out to be intermediate between QS and CS. When one includes structural and functional estimators for the variance of the error in the equation, SS is still more efficient than CS. When the mean and variance of the covariate are not known and have to be estimated as well, one can still maintain that QS is more efficient than SS for the regression parameters.

Quasi Score is more efficient than Corrected Score in a general nonlinear measurement error model
We compare two consistent estimators of the parameter vector β of a general exponential family measurement error model with respect to their relative efficiency. The quasi score (QS) estimator uses the distribution of the regressor, the corrected score (CS) estimator does not make use of this distribution and is therefore more robust. However, if the regressor distribution is known, QS is asymp...
متن کاملThe polynomial and the Poisson measurement error models: some further results on quasi score and corrected score estimation
The asymptotic covariance matrices of the corrected score, the quasi score, and the simple score estimators of a polynomial measurement error model have been derived in the literature. Here some alternative formulas are presented, which might lead to an easier computation of these matrices. In particular, new properties of the variables tr and μr that constitute the estimators are derived. In a...
متن کاملAsymptotic optimality of the quasi-score estimator in a class of linear score estimators
We prove that the quasi-score estimator in a mean-variance model is optimal in the class of (unbiased) linear score estimators, in the sense that the difference of the asymptotic covariance matrices of the linear score and quasi-score estimator is positive semi-definite. We also give conditions under which this difference is zero or under which it is positive definite. This result can be applie...
متن کاملDetection of Outliers and Influential Observations in Linear Ridge Measurement Error Models with Stochastic Linear Restrictions
The aim of this paper is to propose some diagnostic methods in linear ridge measurement error models with stochastic linear restrictions using the corrected likelihood. Based on the bias-corrected estimation of model parameters, diagnostic measures are developed to identify outlying and influential observations. In addition, we derive the corrected score test statistic for outliers detection ba...
متن کاملComparing the efficiency of structural and functional methods in measurement error models
The paper is a survey of recent investigations by the authors and others into the relative efficiencies of structural and functional estimators of the regression parameters in a measurement error model. While structural methods, in particular the quasi-score (QS) method, take advantage of the knowledge of the regressor distribution (if available), functional methods, in particular the corrected...
