Jackknife empirical likelihood method for copulas
Copulas are used to depict dependence among several random variables. Both parametric and non-parametric estimation methods have been studied in the literature. Moreover, profile empirical likelihood methods based on either empirical copula estimation or smoothed copula estimation have been proposed to construct confidence intervals of a copula. In this paper, a jackknife empirical likelihood m...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood confidence intervals for the Gini measure of income inequality
Gini coefficient is among the most popular and widely used measures of income inequality in economic studies, with various extensions and applications in finance and other related areas. This paper studies confidence intervals on the Gini coefficient for simple random samples, using normal approximation, bootstrap percentile, bootstrap-t and the empirical likelihood method. Through both theory ...
متن کاملJackknife Empirical Likelihood Based Confidence Intervals for Partial Areas Under ROC Curves
The partial area under the ROC curve (partial AUC) summarizes the accuracy of a diagnostic or screening test over a relevant region of the ROC curve and represents a useful tool for the evaluation and the comparison of tests. In this paper, we propose a jackknife empirical likelihood method for making inference on partial AUCs. Following the idea in Jing, Yuan, and Zhou (2009), we combine the e...
متن کاملJackknife Empirical Likelihood-Based Confidence Intervals for Low Income Proportions with Missing Data
The estimation of low income proportions plays an important role in comparisons of poverty in different countries. In most countries, the stability of the society and the development of economics depend on the estimation of low income proportions. An accurate estimation of a low income proportion has a crucial role for the development of the natural economy and the improvement of people’s livin...
متن کاملJackknife Empirical Likelihood Inference For The Pietra Ratio
Pietra ratio (Pietra index), also known as Robin Hood index, Schutz coefficient (RicciSchutz index) or half the relative mean deviation, is a good measure of statistical heterogeneity in the context of positive-valued data sets. In this thesis, two novel methods namely “adjusted jackknife empirical likelihood” and “extended jackknife empirical likelihood” are developed from the jackknife empiri...
