Equivariant adjusted least squares estimator in two-line fitting model. (English) Zbl 1349.62318

Summary: We consider the two-line fitting problem. True points lie on two straight lines and are observed with Gaussian perturbations. For each observed point, it is not known on which line the corresponding true point lies. The parameters of the lines are estimated.
This model is a restriction of the conic section fitting model because a couple of two lines is a degenerate conic section. The following estimators are constructed: two projections of the adjusted least squares estimator in the conic section fitting model, orthogonal regression estimator, parametric maximum likelihood estimator in the Gaussian model, and regular best asymptotically normal moment estimator.
The conditions for the consistency and asymptotic normality of the projections of the adjusted least squares estimator are provided. All the estimators constructed in the paper are equivariant. The estimators are compared numerically.
