Library: eiv
See also: eivvec2

Quantlet: eivvec1
Description: eivvect1 presents the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters in the measurement error models, which has more than one variable x. The covariances between e and u, Sigeu and the covariance matrix of u, siguu are known. All of the variables obey normal distributions. All parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood method in measurement error models.

Usage: {mux,hatbeta,beta0,hatsigmae,hatsigmax)=eivvec1(w,y,sigue,siguu)
Input:
w n x p matrix, the design variables
y n x 1 matrix, the response
sigue p x 1 matrix, the vector of covariances between u and e
siguu p x p matrix, the covariance matrix of U
Output:
mux scalar, the mean value of x
hatbeta1 vector, the estimate
hatbeta0 scalar, the estimate
hatsigmax p x p matrix, the estimate of the covariance matrix of x
hatsigmae scalar, the estimate of the variance of error e
