Measurement error arises ubiquitously in applications and has been
of long-standing concern in a variety of fields, including medical
research, epidemiological studies, economics, environmental
studies, and survey research. While several research monographs are
available to summarize methods and strategies of handling different
measurement error problems, research in this area continues to
attract extensive attention. The Handbook of Measurement Error
Models provides overviews of various topics on measurement error
problems. It collects carefully edited chapters concerning issues
of measurement error and evolving statistical methods, with a good
balance of methodology and applications. It is prepared for readers
who wish to start research and gain insights into challenges,
methods, and applications related to error-prone data. It also
serves as a reference text on statistical methods and applications
pertinent to measurement error models, for researchers and data
analysts alike. Features: Provides an account of past development
and modern advancement concerning measurement error problems
Highlights the challenges induced by error-contaminated data
Introduces off-the-shelf methods for mitigating deleterious impacts
of measurement error Describes state-of-the-art strategies for
conducting in-depth research
This monograph on measurement error and misclassification covers a
broad range of problems and emphasizes unique features in modeling
and analyzing problems arising from medical research and
epidemiological studies. Many measurement error and
misclassification problems have been addressed in various fields
over the years as well as with a wide spectrum of data, including
event history data (such as survival data and recurrent event
data), correlated data (such as longitudinal data and clustered
data), multi-state event data, and data arising from case-control
studies. Statistical Analysis with Measurement Error or
Misclassification: Strategy, Method and Application brings together
assorted methods in a single text and provides an update of recent
developments for a variety of settings. Measurement error effects
and strategies of handling mismeasurement for different models are
closely examined in combination with applications to specific
problems. Readers with diverse backgrounds and objectives can
utilize this text. Familiarity with inference methods-such as
likelihood and estimating function theory-or modeling schemes in
varying settings-such as survival analysis and longitudinal data
analysis-can result in a full appreciation of the material, but it
is not essential since each chapter provides basic inference
frameworks and background information on an individual topic to
ease the access of the material. The text is presented in a
coherent and self-contained manner and highlights the essence of
commonly used modeling and inference methods. This text can serve
as a reference book for researchers interested in statistical
methodology for handling data with measurement error or
misclassification; as a textbook for graduate students, especially
for those majoring in statistics and biostatistics; or as a book
for applied statisticians whose interest focuses on analysis of
error-contaminated data. Grace Y. Yi is Professor of Statistics and
University Research Chair at the University of Waterloo. She is the
2010 winner of the CRM-SSC Prize, an honor awarded in recognition
of a statistical scientist's professional accomplishments in
research during the first 15 years after having received a
doctorate. She is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association
and an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute.
