Description: RECA (REgression CAlibration) is a method in which replacing the unobserved x by its expected value E(x|w,z) and then to perform a standard analysis.

Link:
Usage: {beta,bv} = reca(y,w,z,su2)
Input:
y n x 1 matrix, the design variables
w n x 1 matrix
z n x 1 matrix
su2 the variance of the measurement error
Output:
beta vector, the estimate
bv matrix, the variance of the estimate

Example:
library("xplore")
library("eiv")
n=100
randomize(n)
y=floor(uniform(n)+0.25)
w=uniform(n)^2
z=floor(uniform(n)+0.4)
su2=var(w)/4
res=reca(y,w,z,su2)
res.beta
res.bv

Result:
Contents of beta
[1,]  -2.7659
[2,]    1.531
[3,]  0.96504
Contents of bv
