Integrative analysis of datasets generated by multiple cohorts is a widely-used approach for increasing sample size, precision of population estimators, and generalizability of analysis results in epidemiological studies. However, often…

We consider high-dimensional generalized linear models when the covariates are contaminated by measurement error. Estimates from errors-in-variables regression models are well-known to be biased in traditional low-dimensional settings if…
