| contents | The objective of this work is to propose an asymptotic correction method for the estimators of parameters from regression models with covariates subject to classification errors. A correction was developed based on the least squares estimators from regression with erroneous covariates, the marginal probability of the true covariates, and the conditional probability of the erroneous covariates given the true covariates. In this way, we can correct these estimators without the need to correct the erroneous covariates or observe the true covariates. We performed simulations to quantify the performance of the proposed corrections, identifying, that correcting the intercept is crucial for a significant improvement in estimation. |
