Σύνοψη	Variational inference with measurement error is a scalable Bayesian approach that simultaneously estimates model parameters and latent true covariates when observed variables are contaminated by noise. Rather than sampling the posterior via MCMC, it finds the closest tractable distribution to the true posterior by maximising the evidence lower bound (ELBO), making it applicable to large datasets where full MCMC is too costly.	MCMC with measurement error applies Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling to Bayesian models that explicitly account for the fact that covariates or outcomes are observed with error. By treating the true, unobserved values as latent variables and sampling their joint posterior alongside all other parameters, the method corrects for attenuation bias and produces valid inference even when some variables cannot be measured exactly.
