Quantlet: eivknownratue
Description: eivknownratue presents the moment estimates of the parameters in the measurement error models, which has only one variable x. The ratio of two variances of the two measurement errors is known. All of the variables obey normal distributions.

Usage: {mux,beta1,beta0,sigmax,sigmau,sigmae,varbeta1,varbeta0} = eivknownratue(w,y,delta)
Input:
w n x 1 matrix, the design variables
y n x 1 matrix, the response
delta scalar, the ratio of the variance of two errors
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
