It is shown that the blockwise empirical likelihood （EL） ratio statistic is asymptotically X2-type distributed, which is used to obtain EL-based confidence intervals for quantiles of a population.展开更多

In this paper, we assume that X, Y are missing at random （MAR） and use the inverse probability weighted imputation to produce ＇complete＇ data sets for X and Y. Based on these data sets, we construct an empirical likelihood （EL） statistic for the difference of X and Y （denoted as A）, and show that the EL statistic has the limiting distribution of X~, which is used to construct a confidence interval for A. Results of a simulation study on the finite sample performance of EL-based confidence intervals on A are reported.展开更多
