The classical measurement error model is discussed in the context of parameter estimation of the simple linear regression. The attenuation effect of measurement error on the parameter estimation is eliminated using the regression calibration and simulation extrapolation methods. The mass density of pebbles population is investigated as a real data application. The mass and volume of a pebble are regarded an error-free and error-prone variables, respectively. The population mass density is considered to be the slope parameter of the simple linear regression without intercept.
