چکیده
Abstract Recently it has been shown that empirical likelihood ratios can be used to form confidence intervals and test hypothesis just like the parametric case. We illustrate here the use of a particular kind of 1-parameter sub-family of distributions in the analysis of empirical likelihood with censored data. This approach not only simplifies the theoretical analysis of the limiting behavior of the empirical likelihood ratio, it also gave us clues for the numerical search of constrained maxima of an empirical likelihood.

Empirical likelihood ratio with arbitrarily censored/truncated data by EM algorithm
Mai Zhou 1 University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 USA Summary. Empirical likelihood ratio method (Thomas and Grunkmier 1975, Owen 1988, 1990, 2001) is a general nonparametric inference procedure that has many nice properties. Recently the procedure has been shown to work with some censored/truncated data with various parameters. But the computation of the empirical likelihood ratios with c...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Ratio in Terms of Cumulative Hazard Function for Censored Data
It has been shown that (with complete data) empirical likelihood ratios can be used to form con dence intervals and test hypothesis about a linear functional of the distribution function just like the parametric case. We study here the empirical likelihood ratios for right censored data and with parameters that are linear functionals of the cumulative hazard function. Martingale techniques make...
متن کاملComputation of the Empirical Likelihood Ratio from Censored Data
The empirical likelihood ratio method is a general nonparametric inference procedure that has many desirable properties. Recently, the procedure has been generalized to several settings including testing of weighted means with right censored data. However, the computation of the empirical likelihood ratio with censored data and other complex settings is often non-trivial. We propose to use a se...
متن کاملA Wilks Theorem for the Censored Empirical Likelihood of Means
In this note we give a proof of the Wilks theorem for the empirical likelihood ratio for the right censored data, when the hypothesis are formulated in terms of p estimating equations or mean functions. In particular we show that the empirical likelihood ratio test statistic is equal to a quadratic form similar to a Hotelling’s T 2 statistic, plus a small error.

In this paper we give a proof of the Wilks theorem for the empirical likelihood ratio test for the right censored data, when the hypothesis are formulated in terms of p estimating equations or mean functions. In particular we show that the empirical likelihood ratio test statistic is equal to a quadratic form similar to a Hotelling’s T 2 statistic, plus a small error. The least favorable distri...
