Abstract:For California housing prices data, housing median age as a potential confounding variable may affect the relationship between other covariates and response variable. If we ignore the effect of measurement errors on the variables and directly apply the classic semiparametric models assuming that the response variable and covariates can be accurately observed to fit the data, it may cause deviations in the results obtained. Therefore, we use singleindex distortion measurement errors model to fit these data. After observing the fitted curve of the distortion function, we find that the confounding variable housing median age has a connection with the median house value, median income, total rooms, total bedrooms and population. This shows that the singleindex distortion measurement errors model we choose is more suitable for California housing data than the semiparametric models that do not consider measurement errors.
