Over the last 20 years, comprehensive strategies for
treating measurement error in complex models and
accounting for the use of extra data to estimate
measurement error parameters have emerged. Focusing on
both established and novel approaches, ''Measurement
Error: Models, Methods, and Applications'' provides an
overview of the main techniques and illustrates their
application in various models. It describes the impacts
of measurement errors on naive analyses that ignore them
and presents ways to correct for them across a variety
of statistical models, from simple one-sample problems
to regression models to more complex mixed and time
series models. The book covers correction methods based
on known measurement error parameters, replication,
internal or external validation data, and, for some
models, instrumental variables. It emphasizes the use of
several relatively simple methods, moment corrections,
regression calibration, simulation extrapolation
(SIMEX), modified estimating equation methods, and
likelihood techniques. The author uses SAS-IML and Stata
to implement many of the techniques in the
examples.Accessible to a broad audience, this book
explains how to model measurement error, the effects of
ignoring it, and how to correct for it. More applied
than most books on measurement error, it describes basic
models and methods, their uses in a range of application
areas, and the associated terminology. |
