Recently Lin & Wei (2003) developed the score test for heteroscedasticity in nonlinear regression models and investigated the power of this test through Monte Carlo simulations. This paper presents an approach for estimating local power of the score test, based on an asymptotic approximation to...

This paper studies the applications of extreme value theory on analysis for closing price data of the Dow-Jones industrial index and Danish fire insurance claims data. The generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution is considered in analyzing the real data, and the hypothesis testing problem...

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...

Measurement error (errors-in-variables) models are frequently used in various scientific fields, such as engineering, medicine, chemistry, etc. In this work, we consider a new replicated structural measurement error model in which the replicated observations jointly follow scale mixtures of...
