Estimation of the linear EV model with censored data

In this paper, a censored linear errors-in-variables model is investigated. The asymptotic normality of the unknown parameterʹs estimator is obtained. Two empirical log-likelihood ratio statistics for the unknown parameter in the model are suggested. It is proved that the proposed statistics are asymptotically chi-squared under some mild conditions, and hence can be used to construct the confidence regions of the parameter of interest. Finite sample performance of the proposed method is illustrated in a simulation study.
