1. You need to research "errors in variables regression."
2. This is off topic here. This list is about R programming, not
statistics. Post on a statistics list like stats.stackexchange.com
instead.
3. Better yet, consult a local statistical expert.
4. If you post on R issues here, follow the list protocols and post in
plain text, not HTML, please.
Cheers,
