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:

    “I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Who shall forbid a wise skepticism, seeing that there is no practical question on which any thing more than an approximate solution can be had? Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “To the questions of the officiously meddling police Falter replied absently and tersely; but, when he finally grew tired of this pestering, he pointed out that, having accidentally solved “the riddle of the universe,” he had yielded to artful exhortation and shared that solution with his inquisitive interlocutor, whereupon the latter had died of astonishment.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
