  <dc:title>Deconvolution Estimation in Measurement Error Models</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This package contains a collection of functions to deal
with nonparametric measurement error problems using
deconvolution kernel methods. We focus two measurement error
models in the package: (1) an additive measurement error model,
where the goal is to estimate the density or distribution
function from contaminated data; (2) nonparametric regression
model with errors-in-variables. The R functions allow the
measurement errors to be either homoscedastic or
heteroscedastic. To make the deconvolution estimators
computationally more efficient in R, we adapt the &quot;Fast Fourier
Transform&quot; (FFT) algorithm for density estimation with
error-free data to the deconvolution kernel estimation. Several
methods for the selection of the data-driven smoothing
parameter are also provided in the package. See details in:
Wang, X.F. and Wang, B. (2011). Deconvolution estimation in
measurement error models: The R package decon. Journal of
Statistical Software, 39(10), 1-24.</dc:description>
