Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTHE EFFICIENCY OF EMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD WITH NUISANCE PARAMETERSXing WangIn this study we check the asymptotic efficiency of empirical likelihood in the presence of nuisance parameters combined with augmented moment conditions. We show that in the presence of nuisance parameters, the asymptotic efficiency of the empirical likelihood estimator of the parameter of interest will increase by adding more moment conditions, in the sense of the positive semidefiniteness of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2014 · 6,791 accessesView PDFCite
