You want to look in the archives or elsewhere online for "errors in
variables" or "total least squares". There are many resources. Note that
the method in NR assumes both variables have equal-sized observational
errors. If that is not the case for your data, then the method is
inappropriate.

Subject: [R] Straight-line fitting with errors in both coordinates
Hi All,
I want to fit a straight line into a group of two-dimensional data
points with
errors in both x and y coordinates. I found there is an algorithm
provided in
"NUMERICAL RECIPES IN C"
http://www.library.cornell.edu/nr/bookcpdf/c15-3.pdf
I'm wondering if there is a similar function for this implemented in R.
And
how can I change the objective function, from example, from sum of
squared
error to sum of absolute error?
Regards,
Chongle
