A multivariate measurement error model AX≈B is considered. The errors in [A,B] are rowwise independent, but within each row the errors may be correlated. Some of the columns are observed without errors, and in addition the error covariance matrices may differ from row to row. The total...

Adjusted least squares (ALS) estimators for the conic section problem are considered. Consistency of the translation invariant version of ALS estimator is proved. The similarity invariance of the ALS estimator with estimated noise variance is shown. The conditions for consistency of the ALS...
