COMPARISONS OF SOME BIASED ESTIMATORS FOR LINEAR MEASUREMENT ERROR MODELS

Abstract

Measurement errors are very often come upon in data analysis. Classical statistical methods become disadvantageous and ordinary least squares estimator of parameters turns into inconsistent and biased, in the existence of measurement errors in the data. Although some methods are used, the performances of them are not good enough in the presence of multicollinearity and measurement errors in the data, simultaneously. That’s why researchers have been inquiring about the estimation of the parameters if the measurement error models have multicollinearity, lately. Especially, biased estimation techniques have been researched in the existence of multicollinearity for measurement error models recently. In this paper, the ridge and Liu estimation approaches to the measurement error models in the existence of multicollinearity are investigated. The comparisons of the biased estimators’ performances are analyzed theoretically and numerically.
