[R] nonlinear fitting when both x and y having measurement error?

[Bill Simpson]

If you post your question on sci.math.num-analysis you might get pointers
to free code (probably fortran). This might be what you want:

For the linear errors-in-variables problem, you might want to look at:

I think the source code is available.

If you post your question on sci.math.num-analysis you might get pointers

They say:
"[Glove gives  the] Only correct linear fitting analysis, that we could
find, for data with errors in both variables. "
They don't actually say what algorithm they implement.

I think someone already pointed to a book on nonlinear errors-in-variables
models.

Here are some refs on the linear case.

Press et al Numerical recipes in C. Cambridge Univ Press p.666-670. They
also give code and some refs.

R. Lupton (1993) Statistics in theory and practice. Princeton Univ Press
pp 92-97. He also gives some futher refs.
