INFLUENCE FUNCTIONS IN FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT ERROR MODELS WITH REPLICATED DATA

摘要

We consider the construction and properties of influence functions in the context of functional measurement error models with replicated data. In these models estimates of the parameters can be affected both by the individual observations and the means of replicated observations. We show that influence function of the means of replicates on the estimate of regression coefficients can be only derived under the assumption that the variances of the errors are known, while one for the individual observations can be only derived simultaneously with their influence function on the estimators of the variances of the errors.
