Abstract: | This article discusses a consistent and almost unbiased estimation approach in partial linear regression for parameters of interest when the regressors are contaminated with a mixture of Berkson and classical errors. Advantages of the presented procedure are: (1) random errors and observations are not necessarily to be parametric settings; (2) there is no need to use additional sample information, and to consider the estimation of nuisance parameters. We will examine the performance of our presented estimate in a variety of numerical examples through Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed approach is also illustrated in the analysis of an air pollution data. |
