MCMC with Measurement Error
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.
