In high dimensional data analysis, it is often of a primary interest to identify informative variables. However, when covariates are contaminated by measurement error, it becomes a challenging task due to the bias induced by the measurement error. In this article, we present a two-step approach for variable selection in the presence of measurement error. In the first step, we directly select important variables from the contaminated covariates as if there is no measurement error. We then apply, in the following step, orthogonal regression to obtain the unbiased estimates of regression coefficients identified in the previous step. In addition, we propose a modification of the two-step approach to further enhance variable selection performance. Various simulation studies demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed method.
