Extrapolation Estimation for Parametric Regression with Normal Measurement Error
share
For the general parametric regression models with covariates contaminated with normal measurement errors, this paper proposes an accelerated version of the classical simulation extrapolation algorithm to estimate the unknown parameters in the regression function. By applying the conditional expectation directly to the target function, the proposed algorithm successfully removes the simulation step, by generating an estimation equation either for immediate use or for extrapolating, thus significantly reducing the computational time. Large sample properties of the resulting estimator, including the consistency and the asymptotic normality, are thoroughly discussed. Potential wide applications of the proposed estimation procedure are illustrated by examples, simulation studies, as well as a real data analysis.
