Empirical Likelihood Inference for Two-Sample Problems

Yan, Ying (University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)

In this thesis, we are interested in empirical likelihood (EL) methods for two-sample problems, with focus on the difference of the two population means. A weighted empirical likelihood method (WEL) for two-sample problems ...
Empirical Likelihood Method for Ratio Estimation

Dong, Bin (University of Waterloo, 2011-03-17)

Empirical likelihood, which was pioneered by Thomas and Grunkemeier (1975) and Owen (1988), is a powerful nonparametric method of statistical inference that has been widely used in the statistical literature. In this ...
Empirical Likelihood Methods for Some Incomplete Data Problems

Che, Menglu (University of Waterloo, 2020-12-18)

Incomplete data often brings difficulty to estimations and inferences. A complete case (CC) analysis, in most cases, leads to biased estimates, or it may not have the desired estimation efficiency. In this thesis, we develop ...
Semiparametric Empirical Likelihood Inference under Two-sample Density Ratio Models

Yuan, Meng (University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)

The semiparametric density ratio model (DRM) provides a flexible and useful platform for combining information from multiple sources. It has been widely used in many fields. This thesis considers several important inference ...
