Confidence bands in non‐parametric errors‐in‐variables regression

Delaigle, Aurore | Hall, Peter | Jamshidi, Farshid
Errors‐in‐variables regression is important in many areas of science and social science, e.g. in economics where it is often a feature of hedonic models, in environmental science where air quality indices are measured with error, in biology where the vegetative mass of plants is frequently obscured by mismeasurement and in nutrition where reported fat intake is typically subject to substantial error. To date, in non‐parametric contexts, the great majority of work has focused on methods for estimating the mean as a function, with relatively little attention being paid to techniques for empirical assessment of the accuracy of the estimator. We develop methodologies for constructing confidence bands. Our contributions include techniques for tuning parameter choice aimed at minimizing the coverage error of confidence bands.
