Empirical Likelihood Confidence Intervals for Nonparametric Functional Data Analysis

Heng Lian

چکیده

We consider the problem of constructing confidence intervals for nonparametric functional data analysis using empirical likelihood. In this doubly infinite-dimensional context, we demonstrate the Wilks’s phenomenon and propose a bias-corrected construction that requires neither undersmoothing nor direct bias estimation. We also extend our results to partially linear regression involving functional data. Our numerical results demonstrated the improved performance of empirical likelihood over approximation based on asymptotic normality.
