Errors-In-Variables in R
Perhaps it would have been clearer that this is no homework if I hadn't forgotten to say what [1] is. Sorry for that.

In reference to [1], how would you solve the following regression problem: Given observations (X_i,Y_i) with known respective error distributions (e_X_i,e_Y_i) (say, 0-mean Gaussian with known STD), find the parameters a and b which maximize the Likelihood of Y = a*X + b Taking the example further, how many of the very simplified assumptions from the above example can be lifted or eased and R still has a method for finding an errors-in-variables fit?
