Empirical Likelihood for Right Censored Lifetime Data
右删失寿命数据的经验似然
When the empirical likelihood (EL) of a parameter θ is constructed with right censored data, literature shows that − 2log (empirical likelihood ratio) typically has an asymptotic scaled chi-squared distribution, where the scale parameter is a function of some unknown asymptotic variances. Therefore, the EL construction of confidence intervals for θ requires an additional estimation of the scale parameter. Additional estimation would reduce the coverage accuracy for θ. By…
