Estimation in the Presence of Measurement Error, Dietary Assessment Research Series 1
探讨测量误差对参数估计和统计研究设计的影响,重点分析测量误差如何导致常用估计量产生偏差,并讨论分布函数和回归方程的估计及对调查设计的启示。
The importance of measurement error for parameter estimation and for the design of statistical studies, particularly sample surveys, is examined. Beginning with a brief review of Hansen's contributions, the discussion concentrates on estimation problems in which measurement error leads to bias in the usual estimators. Estimation of distribution functions and regression equations are discussed, and the implications for the design of surveys are presented.
