Abstract

We consider a multivariate functional measurement error model AXBAX\approx B. The errors in [A,B][A,B] are uncorrelated, row-wise independent, and have equal (unknown) variances. We study the total least squares estimator of XX, which, in the case of normal errors, coincides with the maximum likelihood one. We give conditions for asymptotic normality of the estimator when the number of rows in AA is increasing. Under mild assumptions, the covariance structure of the limit Gaussian random matrix is nonsingular. For normal errors, the results can be used to construct an asymptotic confidence interval for a linear functional of XX.
