Corrected Score Estimation of Regression with Autocorrelation Under Measurement Errors
subject: Autocorrelation; Corrected score; Measurement errors
description: In regression models with autocorrelated errors, measurement errors in the covariates can lead to biased and inconsistent estimation of the regression coefficients. Measurement error refers to the discrepancy between the observed values of a variable and its true values. It occurs during the data collection process due to various factors such as inaccuracies in measurement instruments, limitations in the measuring process, human errors, or environmental influences. These errors can introduce bias into collected data, impacting the reliability and validity of statistical analyses and model outcomes. Recognizing the importance of time dependencies, our study extends to time series regression models in the presence of measurement error. A score function is the derivative of the log-likelihood function with respect to the parameters. In this paper, a correction for score function in regression with autocorrelated errors is considered to account for the impact of measurement errors on parameter estimation, and it attempts to provide a two-step estimation procedure to resolve the bias caused by both these challenges. Further, the efficiency of these estimates is compared with least square estimates by carrying out a simulation study for finite samples, and we conclude the proposed methodology provides more accurate results. The applicability of the proposed model has been illustrated using the Phillips Curve dataset and it was found that in the presence of measurement error, corrected score estimation gives more accurate estimates than OLS estimates.
