Empirical likelihood ratio test on quantiles under a density ratio model

چکیده

Population quantiles are important parameters in many applications. Enthusiasm for the development of effective statistical inference procedures and their functions has been high past decade. In this article, we study methods when multiple samples from linked populations available. The research problems consider have a wide range For example, to evolution economic status country, economists monitor changes annual household incomes, based on survey datasets collected annually. Even with samples, routine approach would estimate different separately. Such approaches ignore fact that these share some intrinsic latent structure. Recently, researchers advocated use density ratio model (DRM) account structure developed more efficient pooled data. nonparametric empirical likelihood (EL) is subsequently employed. Interestingly, there no discussion context EL-based test (ELRT) population quantiles. We explore ELRT hypotheses concerning confidence regions under DRM. show statistic chi-square limiting distribution null hypothesis. Simulation experiments distributions approximate finite-sample well lead accurate tests regions. DRM helps improve efficiency. also give real-data example illustrate efficiency proposed method.

A Simple Density-Based Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test for Independence.

We develop a novel nonparametric likelihood ratio test for independence between two random variables using a technique that is free of the common constraints of defining a given set of specific dependence structures. Our methodology revolves around an exact density-based empirical likelihood ratio test statistic that approximates in a distribution-free fashion the corresponding most powerful pa...

Smoothed weighted empirical likelihood ratio confidence intervals for quantiles

Thus far, likelihood-based interval estimates for quantiles have not been studied in the literature on interval censored case 2 data and partly interval censored data, and, in this context, the use of smoothing has not been considered for any type of censored data. This article constructs smoothed weighted empirical likelihood ratio confidence intervals (WELRCI) for quantiles in a unified frame...

An Empirical Likelihood Ratio Test for Normality

The empirical likelihood ratio (ELR) test for the problem of testing for normality is derived in this paper. The sampling properties of the ELR test and four other commonly used tests are provided and analyzed using the Monte Carlo simulation technique. The power comparisons against a wide range of alternative distributions show that the ELR test is the most powerful of these tests in certain s...

On Empirical Likelihood in Semiparametric Two- Sample Density Ratio Models

We consider estimation and test problems for some semiparametric two-sample density ratio models. The profile empirical likelihood (EL) poses an irregularity problem under the null hypothesis that the laws of the two samples are equal. We show that a “dual” form of the profile EL is well defined even under the null hypothesis. A statistical test, based on the dual form of the EL ratio statistic...

Empirical likelihood ratio test for median and mean residual lifetime.

Prompted by several recent papers on the inference on median and mean residual life time, we note that the testing involving the mean or median residual life function in censored survival data can be obtained by an easy application of the general empirical likelihood ratio test. This approach has several advantages: (1) There is no need to estimate the variance/covariance at all, which may beco...
