The multiple regression model where independent variables are measured unprecisely.
We discuss some methods of estimation in bivariate errors-in-variables linear models. We also suggest a method of constructing consistent estimators in the case when the error disturbances have the normal distribution with unknown parameters. It is based on the theory of estimating variance components in linear models. A simulation study is presented which compares this estimator with the maximum likelihood one.
We present a two-dimensional linear regression model where both variables are subject to error. We discuss a model where one variable of each pair of observables is repeated. We suggest two methods to construct consistent estimators: the maximum likelihood method and the method which applies variance components theory. We study asymptotic properties of these estimators. We prove that the asymptotic variances of the estimators of regression slopes for both methods are comparable.
