摘要
Empirical likelihood is a nonparametric method for constructing confidence intervals and tests, notably in enabling the shape of a confidence region determined by the sample data. This paper presents a new version of the empirical likelihood method for quantiles under kernel regression imputation to adapt missing response data. It eliminates the need to solve nonlinear equations, and it is essy to apply. We also consider exponential empirical likelihood as an alternative method. Numerical results are presented to compare our method with others.
