On the Second Order Properties of Empirical Likelihood with Moment Restrictions1
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers the second order properties of empirical likelihood for a parameter defined by moment restrictions, which is the framework operated upon by the Generalized Method of Moments. It is shown that the empirical likelihood defined for this general framework still admits the delicate second order property of Bartlett correction, which represents a substantial extension of all the established cases of Bartlett correction for the empirical likelihood. An empirical Bartlett correction is proposed, which is shown to work effectively in improving the coverage accuracy of confidence regions for the parameter.

On the second-order properties of empirical likelihood with moment restrictions
This paper considers the second-order properties of empirical likelihood (EL) for a parameter defined by moment restrictions, which is the inferential framework of the generalized method of moments. It is shown that the EL defined for this general framework still admits the delicate secondorder property of Bartlett correction. This represents a substantial extension of all the established cases...
متن کاملCVaR Reduced Fuzzy Variables and Their Second Order Moments
Based on credibilistic value-at-risk (CVaR) of regularfuzzy variable, we introduce a new CVaR reduction method fortype-2 fuzzy variables. The reduced fuzzy variables arecharacterized by parametric possibility distributions. We establishsome useful analytical expressions for mean values and secondorder moments of common reduced fuzzy variables. The convex properties of second order moments with ...

Diffraction line broadening analysis has been proved to be an extremely powerful method to study the defect properties of crystalline materials, since different types of defects produce different types of diffraction line profiles. In other word, the distribution of intensity, especially in tails of line profile, strongly depends on the crystallite size and dislocation structures. In this paper...
متن کاملModified signed log-likelihood test for the coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population
In this paper, we consider the problem of two sided hypothesis testing for the parameter of coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population. An approach used here is the modified signed log-likelihood ratio (MSLR) method which is the modification of traditional signed log-likelihood ratio test. Previous works show that this proposed method has third-order accuracy whereas the traditi...
متن کاملA New Class of Asymptotically E¢ cient Estimators for Moment Condition Models
In this paper, we propose a new class of asymptotically e¢ cient estimators for moment condition models. These estimators share the same higher order bias properties as the generalized empirical likelihood estimators and once bias corrected, have the same higher order e¢ ciency properties as the bias corrected generalized empirical likelihood estimators. Unlike the generalized empirical likelih...
