Subject: standard errors for orthogonal linear regression
Could someone please help me by giving me a reference to how one computes standard errors for the coefficients in an orthogonal linear regression, or perhaps someone has some R code? (I would accept a derivation or formula, but as a former teacher, I know how that can rankle.) I tried to imitate what's done in the code for lm() but went astray somewhere and got nonsense.
(This type of modeling goes by several names: total least squares, errors in variables, orthogonal distance regression (ODR), depending on where you are coming from.)
I have found ODRpack, but I haven't yet plowed through the Fortran to see if what I need is there; I'm working on it....
Thanks!
