Abstract:
In this paper we propose the use of a multivariate null intercept measurement error model, where the true unobserved value of the covariate follows a mixture of two normal distributions. The proposed model is applied to a dental clinical trial presented in Hadgu and Koch (1999). A Bayesian approach is considered and a Gibbs Sampler is used to perform the computations.

Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
