		Phase-Function Based Estimation and Inference for Linear Errors-
		in-Variables (EIV) Models // Estimation and inference for
		coefficients of linear EIV models with symmetric measurement
		errors. The measurement errors can be homoscedastic or
		heteroscedastic, for the latter, replication for at least some
		observations needs to be available. The estimation method and
		asymptotic inference are based on a generalised method of
		moments framework, where the estimating equations are formed
		from (1) minimising the distance between the empirical phase
		function (normalised characteristic function) of the response
		and that of the linear combination of all the covariates at the
		estimates, and (2) minimising a corrected least-square
		discrepancy function. Specifically, for a linear EIV model with
		p error-prone and q error-free covariates, if replicates are
		available, the GMM approach is based on a 2(p+q) estimating
		equations if some replicates are available and based on p+2q
		estimating equations if no replicate is available. The details
		of the method are described in Nghiem and Potgieter (2020)
		doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa025 and Nghiem and Potgieter (2025)
		doi:10.5705/ss.202022.0331.
