"Bounded errors-in-variables and the linear model"
Professor Stephen G Walker
University of Bath
The talk discusses estimation of the regression parameters of a linear
model under the assumption that the matrix of predictors is not
observed, rather it is only known to belong to a bounded set. Depending
on the size of the set, the minimax estimator based on least squares
turns out to be a ridge estimator with a specified ridge constant.
