Abstract

In testing the adequacy of a regression model, the conditional expectation of the residuals given the observed covariate is often employed to construct lack-of-fit tests. However, in the errors-in-variables model, the resiudal is biased and cannot be used directly. In this paper, by correcting for the bias, we suggest lack-of-fit tests of score type for a general linear errors-in-variables model. The polynomial model is a special case. The tests are asymptotically chi-squared under the null hypothesis. The choice of scores involved in the test statistics and the power properties are investigated. A simulation study shows that the tests perform well. Application to two data sets is also made. The approach can readily be extended to handle general parametric models.
