Deming Regression - Solution

Solution

The solution can be expressed in terms of the second-degree sample moments. That is, we first calculate the following quantities (all sums go from i = 1 to n):

\begin{align} & \overline{x} = \frac{1}{n}\sum x_i, \quad \overline{y} = \frac{1}{n}\sum y_i, \\ & s_{xx} = \tfrac{1}{n-1}\sum (x_i-\overline{x})^2, \\ & s_{xy} = \tfrac{1}{n-1}\sum (x_i-\overline{x})(y_i-\overline{y}), \\ & s_{yy} = \tfrac{1}{n-1}\sum (y_i-\overline{y})^2. \end{align}

Finally, the least-squares estimates of model's parameters will be

\begin{align} & \hat\beta_1 = \frac{s_{yy}-\delta s_{xx} + \sqrt{(s_{yy}-\delta s_{xx})^2 + 4\delta s_{xy}^2}}{2s_{xy}} \\ & \hat\beta_0 = \overline{y} - \hat\beta_1\overline{x}, \\ & \hat{x}_i^* = x_i + \frac{\hat\beta_1}{\hat\beta_1^2+\delta}(y_i-\hat\beta_0-\hat\beta_1x_i). \end{align}

Famous quotes containing the word solution:

    “Coming out, all the way out, is offered more and more as the political solution to our oppression. The argument goes that, if people could see just how many of us there are, some in very important places, the negative stereotype would vanish overnight. ...It is far more realistic to suppose that, if the tenth of the population that is gay became visible tomorrow, the panic of the majority of people would inspire repressive legislation of a sort that would shock even the pessimists among us.”
    —Jane Rule (b. 1931)

    “Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
    —Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)

    “The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
