In this paper, we consider how to yield a robust empirical likelihood estimation for regression models. After introducing modal regression, we propose a novel empirical likelihood method based on modal regression estimation equations, which has the merits of both robustness and high inference...

This article is concerned with the calibration of the empirical likelihood (EL) for high-dimensional data where the data dimension may increase as the sample size increases. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the EL under a general multivariate model and provide weak conditions under which...

A nonparametric method based on the empirical likelihood is proposed to detect the change-point from a sequence of independent random variables. The empirical likelihood ratio test statistic is proved to have the same limit null distribution as that with classical parametric likelihood. Under...

We propose a two-sample adjusted empirical likelihood (AEL) to construct confidence regions for the difference of two d-dimensional population means. This method eliminates the non-definition of the usual two-sample empirical likelihood (EL) and is shown to be Bartlett correctable. We further...

Sensitivity tests are used to make inferences about a sensitivity, a characteristic property of some products that cannot be observed directly. For binary response sensitivity data (dead or alive, explode or unexplode), the Langlie and Neyer are two well-known sensitivity tests. The priorities...

We apply empirical likelihood method to constructing confidence regions for the difference of the means of two d-dimensional samples. It is shown that the empirical likelihood ratio test has an asymptotic chi-squared distribution. The Bartlett correction for the univariate case (d=1) has been...

This paper documents different timeliness in disseminating sanction and enforcement information (SEI) by two types of regulatory agencies in China and the different consequences that flow from them. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) does not make timely public disclosures of SEI...

Unlike the situation in most developed countries, before the enactment of China's 2006 Bankruptcy Law it was difficult for Chinese-listed companies, which were mostly government owned, to declare bankruptcy. Our analysis of a sample of Chinese financially-distressed companies from 2001 to 2010...
