Efficient empirical-likelihood-based inferences for the single-index model

This article proposes the efficient empirical-likelihood-based inferences for the single component of the parameter and the link function in the single-index model. Unlike the existing empirical likelihood procedures for the single-index model, the proposed profile empirical likelihood for the parameter is constructed by using some components of the maximum empirical likelihood estimator (MELE) based on a semiparametric efficient score. The empirical-likelihood-based inference for the link function is also considered. The resulting statistics are proved to follow a standard chi-squared limiting distribution. Simulation studies are undertaken to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed confidence intervals. An application to real data set is illustrated.     

Empirical Likelihood Inference for Functional Coefficient ARCH-M Model

Empirical likelihood inference for parametric and nonparametric parts in functional coefficient ARCH-M models is investigated in this paper. Firstly, the kernel smoothing technique is used to estimate coefficient function δ(x). In this way we obtain an estimated function with parameter β.Secondly, the empirical likelihood method is developed to estimate the parameter β. An estimated empirical log-likelohood ratio is proved to be asymptotically standard chi-squred, and the maximum empirical likelihood estimation(MELE) for β is shown to be asymptotically normal. Finally, based on the MELE of β, the empirical likelihood approach is again applied to reestimate the nonparametric part δ(x). The empirical log-likelohood ratio for δ(x) is proved to be also asymptotically standard chi-squred. Simulation study shows that the proposed method works better than the normal approximation method in terms of average areas of confidence regions for β, and the empirical likelihood confidence belt for δ(x) performs well.     

Empirical likelihood based inference for semiparametric varying coefficient partially linear models with error-prone linear covariates

This paper considers statistical inference for semiparametric varying coefficient partially linear models with error-prone linear covariates. An empirical likelihood based statistic for parametric component is developed to construct confidence regions. The resulting statistic is shown to be asymptotically chi-square distributed. By the empirical likelihood ratio function, the maximum empirical likelihood estimator of the parameter is defined and the asymptotic normality is shown. A simulation experiment is conducted to compare the empirical likelihood, normal based and the naive empirical likelihood methods in terms of coverage accuracies of confidence regions.     

Adjusted Empirical Likelihood and its Properties

Computing a profile empirical likelihood function, which involves constrained maximization, is a key step in applications of empirical likelihood. However, in some situations, the required numerical problem has no solution. In this case, the convention is to assign a zero value to the profile empirical likelihood. This strategy has at least two limitations. First, it is numerically difficult to determine that there is no solution; second, no information is provided on the relative plausibility of the parameter values where the likelihood is set to zero. In this article, we propose a novel adjustment to the empirical likelihood that retains all the optimality properties, and guarantees a sensible value of the likelihood at any parameter value. Coupled with this adjustment, we introduce an iterative algorithm that is guaranteed to converge. Our simulation indicates that the adjusted empirical likelihood is much faster to compute than the profile empirical likelihood. The confidence regions constructed via the adjusted empirical likelihood are found to have coverage probabilities closer to the nominal levels without employing complex procedures such as Bartlett correction or bootstrap calibration. The method is also shown empirical likelihood.     

Empirical likelihood estimation of discretely sampled processes of OU type

This paper presents an empirical likelihood estimation procedure for parameters of the discretely sampled process of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type. The proposed procedure is based on the condi- tional characteristic function, and the maximum empirical likelihood estimator is proved to be consistent and asymptotically normal. Moreover, this estimator is shown to be asymptotically efficient under some mild conditions. When the background driving Lévy process is of type A or B, we show that the intensity parameter c...

Nonlinear regression modeling using regularized local likelihood method

We introduce a nonlinear regression modeling strategy, using a regularized local likelihood method. The local likelihood method is effective for analyzing data with complex structure. It might be, however, pointed out that the stability of the local likelihood estimator is not necessarily guaranteed in the case that the structure of system is quite complex. In order to overcome this difficulty, we propose a regularized local likelihood method with a polynomial function which unites local likelihood and regularization. A crucial issue in constructing nonlinear regression models is the choice of a smoothing parameter, the degree of polynomial and a regularization parameter. In order to evaluate models estimated by the regularized local likelihood method, we derive a model selection criterion from an information-theoretic point of view. Real data analysis and Monte Carlo experiments are conducted to examine the performance of our modeling strategy.     

Empirical Likelihood Ratio With Arbitrarily Censored/Truncated Data by EM Algorithm

The empirical likelihood is a general nonparametric inference procedure with many desirable properties. Recently, theoretical results for empirical likelihood with certain censored/truncated data have been developed. However, the computation of empirical likelihood ratios with censored/truncated data is often nontrivial. This article proposes a modified self-consistent/EM algorithm to compute a class of empirical likelihood ratios for arbitrarily censored/truncated data with a mean type constraint. Simulations show that the chi-square approximations of the log-empirical likelihood ratio perform well. Examples and simulations are given in the following cases: (1) right-censored data with a mean parameter; and (2) left-truncated and right-censored data with a mean type parameter.
