%0 Journal Article %T Edgeworth Approximation of a Finite Sample Distribution for an AR(1) Model with Measurement Error %A Shuichi Nagata %J Open Journal of Statistics %P 383-388 %@ 2161-7198 %D 2012 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/ojs.2012.24046 %X In this paper, we consider the finite sample property of the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator for an AR(1) model with measurement error. We present the Edgeworth approximation for a finite distribution of OLS up to O(T1/2). We introduce an instrumental variable estimator that is consistent in the presence of measurement error. Finally, a simulation study is conducted to assess the theoretical results and to compare the finite sample performances of these estimators. %K Edgeworth Expansion %K OLS %K Measurement Error %K Instrumental Variables Estimator %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=23772
