Abstract
Despite many statistical applications brush the question of data quality aside, it is a fundamental concern inherent to external data collection. In this paper, data quality relates to the confidence one can have about the covariate values in a regression framework. More precisely, we study how to integrate the information of data quality given by a \((n \times p)\)-matrix, with n the number of individuals and p the number of explanatory variables. In this view, we suggest a latent variable model that drives the generation of the covariate values, and introduce a new algorithm that takes all these information into account for prediction. Our approach provides unbiased estimators of the regression coefficients, and allows to make predictions adapted to some given quality pattern. The usefulness of our procedure is illustrated through simulations and real-life applications. Kindly check and confirm whether the corresponding author is correctly identified.Yes
期刊介绍：
Computational Statistics (CompStat) is an international journal which promotes the publication of applications and methodological research in the field of Computational Statistics. The focus of papers in CompStat is on the contribution to and influence of computing on statistics and vice versa. The journal provides a forum for computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians in a variety of fields of statistics such as biometrics, econometrics, data analysis, graphics, simulation, algorithms, knowledge based systems, and Bayesian computing. CompStat publishes hardware, software plus package reports.
