Description
Summary:In this paper, the authors consider the application of the blockwise empirical likelihood method to the partially linear single-index model when the errors are negatively associated, which often exist in sequentially collected economic data. Thereafter, the blockwise empirical likelihood ratio statistic for the parameters of interest is proved to be asymptotically chi-squared. Hence, it can be directly used to construct confidence regions for the parameters of interest. A few simulation experiments are used to illustrate our proposed method.
