Quantlet: eivknownatt
Description: eivknownatt presents the moment estimates of the parameters in the measurement error models, which has only one variable x. The degree of attenuation (also called reliability ratio) is known. All of the variables obey normal distributions.

Usage: {mux,beta1,beta0,sigmax,sigmau,sigmae,varbeta1,varbeta0} = eivknownatt(w,y,kww)
Input:
w n x 1 matrix, the design variables
y n x 1 matrix, the response
kww scalar, the degree of attenuation
Output:
mux scalar, the mean value of x
beta1 scalar, the estimate
beta0 scalar, the estimate
sigmax scalar, the estimate of the variance of x
sigmau scalar, the estimate of the variance of u
sigmae scalar, the estimate of the variance of e
varbeta1 scalar, the estimate of the variance of the estimate of beta1
varbeta0 scalar, the estimate of the variance of the estimate of beta0

Example:
library("eiv")
n = 100
randomize(n)
x=0.9*normal(n)
w=x+0.9*normal(n)
y=0.9+0.8*x+0.01*normal(n)
kww =0.5
gest=eivknownatt(w,y,kww)
gest.mux        ; the estimate of the mean of x
gest.beta1      ; the estimate of b(true value is 0.8)
gest.beta0      ; the estimate of a(true value is 0.9)
gest.sigmax     ; the estimate of the variance of x
gest.sigmau     ; the estimate of the variance of u
gest.sigmae     ; the estimate of the variance of e
gest.varbeta1   ; the estimate of the variance of the estimate of beta1
gest.varbeta0   ; the estimate of the variance of the estimate of beta0
