Abstract

This paper proposes two new estimation methods to fit a multiple structural measurement error model when all variables are subject to errors. The new estimation methods were extensions of the Wald estimation method, one is the weighted grouping method, and the other is the iterative method. A Monte Carlo experiment is performed to investigate the performance of the new estimators compared with the classical estimation methods; the Maximum Likelihood Estimator and Method of Moment, in terms of root mean square error and its bias. The simulation outcomes demonstrated that the suggested estimators are more effective than conventional estimators. In addition, real data analysis is discussed to examine the relationship between the national gross domestic product, unemployment rate, and human development index after applying the two proposed estimation methods.
