comment lasso and cross-validation (theoretical results)
This is a pretty generic question about generalization error and empirical risk minimization.

comment Errors in Variables and Deming's multivariate regression: Assumptions
That's right..just linear regression

comment Estimator bias without a closed form?
Only the 'estimator' is computed iteratively. The theoretical part you mention is what is of interest to me. I need a starting point or example in this direction of computing expectations for an iterative update or some theoretical setting regardless of the iteration, that checks for the bias. It is even fine, if someone had a naive iterative algorithm for estimating the beta's in a linear regression ;) though we know that the OLS estimator is the same as MLE. But if there was an iterative estimation, how would the unbiasedness of $\hat{\beta}$ be verified? ;)

Agreed. Will edit right now, to put in information about my estimator, followed by the distributional assumptions I make. Likewise, I have been wondering if you can put in a pointer to a paper with an iterative scenario where the expectation of the estimator is computed within a regression setting? I agree there are many such cases from 'REML' to Alternating Least Squares to M-estimation and so on and so forth. I would like a pointer to a paper that covers this scenario.

That's right @whuber. I meant independent variables, and so- edited it.

comment Estimator bias without a closed form?
@whuber, I edited/posed the problem am facing. Would you prefer that I put forth the distributional assumptions? I'd like to see your perspectives, as my issue is concerned with the lack of a closed-form. But, there may be a different view, on the problem of estimating the bias..that is not concerned with the lack of a closed form?
