Indeed, the article is cited in the package help. Unfortunately it
ends with my question: "Among the limitations of SIMEX estimation …
the two most notable are the requirement that the measurement error
variance be known …" (p. 1327).
The study I'm dealing with does not have a history of similar studies
that would allow me to estimate the measurement error variance.
