Abstract

This paper studies the impact of classical measurement error on a Dependent Dirichlet Process (DDP). Specifically, we study a Simulation-Extrapolation (SIMEX) algorithm, adapted to a nonparametric Bayesian framework, that assesses the impact of measurement error by inducing even further error in the covariate. We illustrate the algorithm via a battery of numerical experiments.
