MeasErrorRandom: Create a Random Measurement Error Object

In LindaNab/mecor: Measurement Error Correction in Linear Models with a Continuous Outcome

Description

This function creates a random measurement error object, usually used as a covariate in the formula argument of mecor if one wants to correct for random measurement error in that variable

Usage

MeasErrorRandom(substitute, variance)

Arguments

substitute	a vector containing the error-prone measure
variance	a numeric quantifying the assumed variance of the random measurement error

Value

MeasErrorRandom returns an object of class "MeasErrorRandom".

An object of class MeasErrorRandom is a list containing the substitute variable, the assumed variance of the random measurement error in that variable and, the attributes input (the name of the substitute variable) and call (the matched call).
