We consider statistical inference for linear regression models when some variables are distorted with errors by some unknown functions of commonly observable confounding variables. The proposed estimation
procedure is designed to accommodate undistorted as well as distorted variables. To test a hypothesis on the
parametric components, a restricted least squares estimator is proposed for unknown parameters under some
restricted conditions. Asymptotic properties for the estimators are established. A test statistic based on the
difference between the residual sums of squares under the null and alternative hypotheses is proposed, and we
also obtain the asymptotic properties of the test statistic. A wild bootstrap procedure is proposed to calculate
critical values. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed procedure and
a real example is analysed for an illustration.

In some applications, variables may not be directly observed because of certain contamination, such as in health
3
science and medicine research. It is well known that, measurement errors in covariates may cause large bias,
4
sometimes seriously, in the estimated regression coefficient if we ignore the measurement error. As such, mea-
5
surement error models have received much attention. Some literature about measurement error models include

Yang et al. (2014); Zhang et al. (2011) and others. Carroll et al. (2006) systematically summarized some recent

research developments of linear and non-linear models as well as in non-parametric and semiparametric models.

This type of measurement error models is revealed by S¸ent¨urk and Nguyen (2009), who studied the Pima
20
Indians diabetes data. It is interest to investigate which covariates have impact on the diabetes. To analyse this
21
data, S¸ent¨urk and Nguyen (2009) suggested the covariate ‘body mass index’ (BMI) to be a potential confound-
22
ing variable. Kaysen et al. (2002) also treat BMI as the confounder on hemodialysis patients and they further
23
realised that the fibrinogen level and serum transferrin level should be divided by BMI, in order to eliminate
24
the contamination possibly caused by BMI. From a practical point of view, since the exact relationship between
25
the confounder and primary variables is unknown, naively dividing BMI may be incorrect and may lead to an
26
inconsistent estimator of the parameter. As a remedy, S¸ent¨urk and M¨uller (2005, 2006) introduced a flexible

linear estimator to deal with partial distortion measurement error-in-variables. Nguyen et al. (2008) proposed an
2
estimation procedure for linear mixed effects models with an application to longitudinal data. Cui et al. (2009)

proposed a driect-plug-in estimation procedure. Later on, this direct-plug-in method has been developed to the

case of multivariate confounders (Zhang et al., 2013a, 2014c, 2012a) and some semi-parametric models, for ex-
5
ample, partial linear models (Li et al., 2010), the partial linear single index models (Zhang et al., 2013b), the

In this article, we investigate the estimation and statistical inference for model (1.1). To estimate the unknown
14
parameter β 0 , γ 0 , we used the direct plug-in method proposed by Cui et al. (2009) and further investigate the
15
asymptotic properties of the estimators. To make statistical inference of β 0 , γ 0 , i.e., testing whether the true
16
parameter β 0 , γ 0 satisfies some linear restriction conditions or not, we further develop a restricted estimator by
17
introducing Lagrange multipliers under the null hypothesis. The associated asymptotic properties of the restricted
18
estimator are also revealed. Finally, a test statistic based on the difference between the residual sums of squares
19
under the null and alternative hypotheses is proposed. The limiting distribution of the test statistic is shown to be
20
a weighted sum of independent standard chi-squared distributions under the null hypothesis. To mimic the null
21
distribution of the test statistic, a wild bootstrap procedure is proposed to define p-values. We conduct Monte
22
Carlo simulation experiments to examine the performance of the proposed procedures. Our simulation results
23
show that the proposed methods perform well both in estimation and hypothesis testing. We also apply our
24
estimation and testing procedure to analyze the Pima Indians diabetes data set.

In previous section, we discuss the estimation of β 0 , γ 0 rather than testing. Another interesting problem is to
14
evaluate if certain explanatory variables in the parametric components influence the response significantly. As in
15
many important statistical applications, in addition to sample information, we may have some prior information
16
on regression parametric vector which can be used to improve the parametric estimators. Specially, this study
17
can be used to select unobserved underlying variable X for distortion measurement errors data. We consider the
18
following linear hypothesis:
-A

13
H0 : Aθ 0 = b, vs H1 : Aθ 0 6= b,
(3.8)
PS
19
where θ 0 = (β τ0 , γ τ0 )τ , A is a k × (p + q) matrix of known constants and b is a k-vector of known constants.
21
We shall also assume that rank(A) = k ≤ p + q.

3.0.1. A restricted estimator and its asymptotic normality
23
Under the null hypothesis H0 , the restriction conditions Aθ 0 = b should be used to obtain an estimator of θ 0
24
without losing the restriction information involved in the null hypothesis H0 . The information for regression
25
coefficients involved in this null hypothesis may improve the efficiency of the estimator. Followed Wei and Wang
4
26
(2012), we can construct a restricted estimator by using Lagrange multiplier technique:
S(θ, λ) =

(3.14)
Our test statistic for the null hypothesis H0 is based on the difference between the residual sums of squares under
the null and alternative hypotheses:
Tn = RSS(H0 ) − RSS(H1 ).
2
(3.15)
Intuitively, if the null hypothesis H0 is true, the value of Tn is small. If the null hypothesis H0 is not true, there
4
should be significant difference between RSS(H0 ) and RSS(H1 ), and the value of Tn is large. Large value of
5
Tn further indicates that the null hypothesis H0 should be rejected. The following theorem gives the asymptotic
6
distribution of Tn under the the null hypothesis H0 .

• Under the locol alternative hypothesis H1n : Aθ 0 = b + n−1/2 c, the test statistic Tn follows a generalised

3.0.3. A wild bootstrap procedure

To apply Theorem 3.2 under the null hypothesis H0 , one way is to estimate the unknown weights `i , 1 ≤ i ≤ k
by estimating Γ and Qβ0 consistently, then, one can use the distribution of `ˆ1 χ21,1 + `ˆ2 χ22,1 + . . . + `ˆk χ2k,1

19
or Welch-Satterthwaite approximation to define the p-values. However, as the asymptotic variances obtained
1
in Theorem 3.1 are very complex. Especially for Qβ0 , its estimator may not be precise in finite samples. To
2
overcome this problem, we suggest to apply a wild bootstrap (Escanciano, 2006; Stute et al., 1998; Wu, 1986)
3
technique to mimic the distribution of the test statistic Tn under the null hypothesis H0 .
4
The procedure for calculating the critical values based on the bootstrap test statistic is proposed as follows:
6

Step 1: Compute the test statistic Tn defined in (3.15).
Step 2: Generate N times i.i.d. variables ςib , i = 1, . . . , n, b = 1, . . . , B with a Bernoulli distribution which

X1 ∼ N (2, 1.22 ), X2 ∼ N (2, 0.52 ) and Z1 ∼ N (0.5, 0.252 ), and the covariance matrix of (X1 , X2 , Z1 ) is

covariate U is generated from the Uniform (0, 1) distribution, independent with (X1 , X2 , Z1 , ). The distorting

In Table 2, we report the simulation results of the sample mean (Mean), the sample standard deviation (SD)
11
and the sample mean squared error (MSE). We can see that both the DPI estimator and LLA estimator are close
12
to the true value. As the sample size increases or σ decreases, their means are generally closer to the true values,
13
the SD and MSE of both the estimators decrease, and the biases of DPI estimator is much smaller than those of
14
LLA estimator. In addition, by comparing the MSE, we can see that our DPI estimator is slightly more efficient
15
than LAP estimator, which suggests that DPI estimation procedure is indeed worthy of recommendation.

Example 2. We first consider the restricted estimator under two restricted conditions A[1] = (1, 1, 2)τ (i.e.,
17
β 0,1 +β 0,2 +2γ 0,1 = 0) and A[2] = (−1, 1, 1)τ (i.e., −β 0,1 +β 0,2 +γ 0,1 = 0). The covariates X1 , X2 , Z1 , , U
18
and the choices of distorting functions are the same as Example 1. We generate 500 realizations from the follow-
19
ing model (4.17) and the sample size is chosen as n = 500, 800 and 1000, and the σ for the error term is chosen
20
as σ = 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 in this example.

In Table 3, we can see that the values of MSE for the restricted estimator of β 0,1 is slightly larger than those
22
obtained in Table 2. However, the restricted estimator of β 0,2 is generally smaller than those in Table 2, the
23

REAL DATA ANALYSIS
We apply our method to analyse the Pima Indian diabetes data for an illustration. The dataset is available on the
5
web site http://www.ics.uci.edu/ mlearn/databases/. This data has been analysed by S¸ent¨urk and Nguyen (2009).

They suggested the body mass index (BMI) as the potential confounding variable and further investigated a linear
7
regression model between the unobserved covariate ‘plasma glucose concentration’ (Y ), the covariate ‘diastolic
8
blood pressure’ (X), the observed covariate ‘triceps skin fold thickness’ (Z1 ) and the observed covariate ‘age’

sociated p-value is 0.922, if we use the significant level α = 0.05. Similarly, we can not reject the hypothesis
19
H0 : γ 0,2 = 0.6 either. We consider the hypothesis H0 : γ 0,2 − 3β 0,1 = 0.0, the associated p-value is 0.994,
20
which indicate that the relationship in the null hypothesis H0 can be true. For the null hypothesis H0 , we can
21
not reject the null hypothesis H0 , as its p-value is 0.636, much larger than critical value 0.05. This implies that
22
the variable ‘Triceps skin fold thickness’ may be excluded from model (5.19).
