Hierarchical models that address measurement error are needed to evaluate the correlation between treatment effect and control group event rate

To apply a hierarchical model (HM) that addresses measurement error in regression of the treatment effect on the control group event rate (CR). We compare HM to weighted linear regression (WLR) which is subject to measurement error and mathematical coupling.
