Adjusting for covariate errors with nonparametric assessment of the true covariate distribution
通过非参数评估真实协变量分布校正协变量误差
A well-known and useful method for generalised regression analysis when a linear covariate x is available only through some approximation z is to carry out more or less the usual analysis with E(x|z) substituted for x. Sometimes, but not always, the quantity var (x|z) should be used to allow for overdispersion introduced by this substitution. These quantities involve the distribution of true covariates x, and with some exceptions this requires assessment of that distribution…
