Description
Summary:Block empirical likelihood inference for semiparametric varying-coeffcient partially linear errors-in-variables models with longitudinal data is investigated. We apply the block empirical likelihood procedure to accommodate the within-group correlation of the longitudinal data. The block empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic for the parametric component is suggested. And the nonparametric version of Wilk’s theorem is derived under mild conditions. Simulations are carried out to access the performance of the proposed procedure.
