Empirical-likelihood-based inference for the parameters in a partially linear single-index model with randomly censored data is investigated. We introduce an estimated empirical likelihood for the parameters using a synthetic data approach and show that its limiting distribution is a mixture of central chi-squared distribution. To attack this difficulty we propose an adjusted empirical likelihood to achieve the standard χ2-limit. Furthermore, since the index is of norm 1, we use this constraint to reduce the dimension of parameters, which increases the accuracy of the confidence regions. A simulation study is carried out to compare its finite-sample properties with the existing method. An application to a real data set is illustrated.
In this paper,the estimation for a class of generalized varying coefficient models with error-prone covariates is considered.By combining basis function approximations with some auxiliary variables,an instrumental variable type estimation procedure is proposed.The asymptotic results of the estimator,such as the consistency and the weak convergence rate,are obtained.The proposed procedure can attenuate the effect of measurement errors and have proved workable for finite samples.
