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:

    “All the followers of science are fully persuaded that the processes of investigation, if only pushed far enough, will give one certain solution to each question to which they can be applied.... This great law is embodied in the conception of truth and reality. The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “Any solution to a problem changes the problem.”
    —R.W. (Richard William)

    “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)
