Abstract

This research presents a generalized least square approach to estimate the pa- rameters in a longitudinal linear mixed-effects model. In this model, we consider measurement error and misclassification in the covariates. Moreover, a classical mea- surement error for continuous covariates, and misclassification for discrete covariates up to three categories, is considered. Through simulation studies, we observe the impact of each parameter of the model on the bias of the naive estimation, when the other parameters stay unchanged.
