This paper studies how to estimate and test the symmetry of a continuous variable under the additive distortion measurement errors setting. The unobservable variable is distorted in a additive fashion by an observed confounding variable. In this paper, a direct plug-in estimation procedure and two-step direct plug-in estimation procedure for correlation coefficient are proposed to measure the symmetry or asymmetry of a continuous variable, and empirical likelihood based confidence intervals are constructed to test the symmetry of the unobserved variable. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators and test statistics are investigated. We conduct Monte Carlo simulation experiments to examine the performance of the proposed estimators and test statistics. These methods are applied to analyze a real dataset for an illustration.
