the true response (not y). The error term ǫij can be regarded<br />

as measurement error.<br />

2. Stage 2: Treat the summary statistics as new responses and<br />

regress the summary statistics on one-time covariates. For<br />

example, after we got � bi0 and � bi1, we can calculate the means <strong>of</strong><br />

� bi0 and � bi1 and the standard errors <strong>of</strong> those means, or do the<br />

following regressions<br />

� bi0 = α0 + α1xi1 + · · · + αpxip + ei0<br />

� bi1 = β0 + β1xi1 + · · · + βpxip + ei1.<br />

Here, αk is the effect <strong>of</strong> xk on the true baseline response (not<br />

y), βk is the effect <strong>of</strong> xk on the change rate <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the true<br />

response.<br />
