From the introduction: We consider the problem of fitting a model of the form $y=f(x,\beta)$ to a set of points $(x_i,y_i)$, $i=1,\dots,n$. If there are measurement or observation errors in $x$ as well as in $y$, we have the so-called errors-in-variables-problem with model equation $$y_i=f(x_i+\delta_i,\beta)+\varepsilon_i,\ i=1,\dots,n,\tag 1$$ where $\delta_i\in\bbfR^m$, $i=1,\dots,n$, are the errors in $x_i\in\bbfR^m$. Then the problem is to find a vector of parameters $\beta\in\bbfR^p$ that minimizes the errors $\varepsilon_i$ and $\delta_i$ in some loss function subject to (1). We present algorithms using more robust alternatives to the least squares criterion.\par We will further discuss, from
