Measurement Error in Nonlinear Models (Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability)

Measurement Error in Nonlinear Models (Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability) by Ruppert, David. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780412047213.

This monograph provides an up-to-date discussion of analysis strategies for regression problems in which predictor variables are measured with errors. The analysis of nonlinear regression models includes generalized linear models, transform-both-sides models and quasilikelihood and variance function problems. The text concentrates on the general ideas and strategies of estimation and inference rather than being concerned with a specific problem. Measurement error occurs in many fields, such as biometry, epidemiology and economics. In particular, the book contains a large number of epidemiological examples. An outline of strategies for handling progressively more difficult problems is also provided.
