Abstract
We consider an Error-in-Variable partially linear model where the covariates of linear part are measured with error which follows a normal distribution with a known covariance matrix. We propose a corrected-loss estimation of the covariate effect. The proposed estimator is asymptotically normal. Simulation studies are presented to show that the proposed method performs well with finite samples, and the proposed method is applied to a real data set.
