In this paper, the empirical likelihood inferences for varying-coefficient semiparametric mixed-effects errors-in-variables models with longitudinal data are investigated. We construct the empirical log-likelihood ratio function for the fixed-effects parameters and the mean parameters of...

In this paper, an empirical likelihood ratio based goodness-of-fit test for the skew normality is proposed. The asymptotic results of the test statistic under the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis are derived. Simulations indicate that the Type I error of the proposed test can be...
