Empirical likelihood semiparametric nonlinear regression analysis for longitudinal data with responses missing at random

This paper develops the empirical likelihood (EL) inference on parameters and baseline function in a semiparametric nonlinear regression model for longitudinal data in the presence of missing response variables. We propose two EL-based ratio statistics for regression coefficients by introducing the working covariance matrix and a residual-adjusted EL ratio statistic for baseline function. We establish asymptotic properties of the EL estimators for regression coefficients and baseline function. Simulation studies are used to investigate the finite sample performance of our proposed EL methodologies. An AIDS clinical trial data set is used to illustrate our proposed methodologies.

In this article, we develop efficient robust method for estimation of mean and covariance simultaneously for longitudinal data in regression model. Based on Cholesky decomposition for the covariance matrix and rewriting the regression model, we propose a weighted least square estimator, in which the weights are estimated under generalized empirical likelihood framework. The proposed estimator obtains high efficiency from the close connection to empirical likelihood method, and achieves robustness by bounding the weighted sum of squared residuals. Simulation study shows that, compared to existing robust estimation methods for longitudinal data, the proposed estimator has relatively high efficiency and comparable robustness. In the end, the proposed method is used to analyse a real data set.     

Empirical likelihood method for quantiles with response data missing at random

Empirical likelihood is a nonparametric method for constructing confidence intervals and tests,notably in enabling the shape of a confidence region determined by the sample data.This paper presents a new version of the empirical likelihood method for quantiles under kernel regression imputation to adapt missing response data.It eliminates the need to solve nonlinear equations,and it is easy to apply.We also consider exponential empirical likelihood as an alternative method.Numerical results are presented to compare our method with others.     

Empirical likelihood inference for censored median regression with weighted empirical hazard functions

In recent years, median regression models have been shown to be useful for analyzing a variety of censored survival data in clinical trials. For inference on the regression parameter, there have been a variety of semiparametric procedures. However, the accuracy of such procedures in terms of coverage probability can be quite low when the censoring rate is heavy. In this paper, based on weighted empirical hazard functions, we apply an empirical likelihood (EL) ratio method to the median regression model with censoring data and derive the limiting distribution of EL ratio. Confidence region for the regression parameter can then be obtained accordingly. Furthermore, we compared the proposed method with the standard method through extensive simulation studies. The proposed method almost always outperformed the existing method.     

Semiparametric inference for transformation models via empirical likelihood

Recent advances in the transformation model have made it possible to use this model for analyzing a variety of censored survival data. For inference on the regression parameters, there are semiparametric procedures based on the normal approximation. However, the accuracy of such procedures can be quite low when the censoring rate is heavy. In this paper, we apply an empirical likelihood ratio method and derive its limiting distribution via U-statistics. We obtain confidence regions for the regression parameters and compare the proposed method with the normal approximation based method in terms of coverage probability. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed empirical likelihood method overcomes the under-coverage problem substantially and outperforms the normal approximation based method. The proposed method is illustrated with a real data example. Finally, our method can be applied to general U-statistic type estimating equations.     

Empirical Likelihood Semiparametric Regression Analysis under Random Censorship

This paper considers large sample inference for the regression parameter in a partly linear model for right censored data. We introduce an estimated empirical likelihood for the regression parameter and show that its limiting distribution is a mixture of central chi-squared distributions. A Monte Carlo method is proposed to approximate the limiting distribution. This enables one to make empirical likelihood-based inference for the regression parameter. We also develop an adjusted empirical likelihood method which only appeals to standard chi-square tables. Finite sample performance of the proposed methods is illustrated in a simulation study.
