Empirical likelihood on the full parameter space
完整参数空间上的经验似然
We extend the empirical likelihood of Owen [Ann. Statist. 18 (1990) 90–120] by partitioning its domain into the collection of its contours and mapping the contours through a continuous sequence of similarity transformations onto the full parameter space. The resulting extended empirical likelihood is a natural generalization of the original empirical likelihood to the full parameter space; it has the same asymptotic properties and identically shaped contours as the original…
