A kernel regression imputation method for missing response data is developed. A class of bias-corrected empirical log-likelihood ratios for the response mean is defined. It is shown that any member of our class of ratios is asymptotically chi-squared, and the corresponding empirical likelihood...

A semiparametric regression model for longitudinal data is considered. The empirical likelihood method is used to estimate the regression coefficients and the baseline function, and to construct confidence regions and intervals. It is proved that the maximum empirical likelihood estimator of the...

type="main" xml:id="rssb12066-abs-0001" <title type="main">Summary</title> <p>We consider heteroscedastic regression models where the mean function is a partially linear single-index model and the variance function depends on a generalized partially linear single-index model. We do not insist that the variance function...</p>

In this paper, following the results presented in Liu's work [Liu, A.Y., 2002. Efficient estimation of two seemingly unrelated regression equations. Journal of Multivariate Analysis 82, 445-456], we first represent the Gauss-Markov estimator of the regression parameter as a matrix series, and...

We study the problem of estimating time-varying coefficients in ordinary differential equations. Current theory only applies to the case when the associated state variables are observed without measurement errors as presented in Chen and Wu (2008) [4] and [5]. The difficulty arises from the...
