报告题目: Empirical likelihood in semiparametric models

报告人：薛留根教授

报告摘要: In this talk, we discuss the empirical likelihood based inference problem in semiparametric models. Firstly, we investigate the empirical likelihood based inference for the parameters in a partially linear single-index model. we propose a bias correction method to achieve that the empirical likelihood ratio has standard chi-square limit. Secondly, we investigate the empirical likelihood-based inference for a varying coefficient model with longitudinal data. we propose three empirical likelihood ratios: the naive empirical likelihood ratio, the mean-corrected empirical likelihood ratio and the residual-adjusted empirical likelihood ratio, and show that these ratios have chi-square limits. In addition, when some components are of particular interest, we suggest the mean-corrected and residual-adjusted partial empirical likelihood ratios for the construction of the confidence regions/intervals. A simulation study is undertaken to compare the empirical likelihood and the normal approximation methods in terms of coverage accuracies and average areas/widths of confidence regions/intervals. An example in epidemiology is used for illustration.
