Empirical likelihood inference for semiparametric model with linear process errors

The purpose of this article is to use the empirical likelihood method to study the confidence regions construction for the parameters of interest in semiparametric model with linear process errors under martingale difference. It is shown that the adjusted empirical log-likelihood ratio at the true parameters is asymptotically chi-squared. A simulation study indicates that the adjusted empirical likelihood works better than a normal approximation-based approach. (C) 2009 The Korean Statistical Society. Published by Elsevier B.V.
