Hi,

I want to test the hypothesis that my data
follows a known simple linear relationship,
y = a + bx. However, I have (known) measurements
errors in both the y and the x values.

I suppose just a simple linear regression
does not do here.

Any suggestions how do test this correctly?

Thanks,

joerg
