Abstract

In this paper, we consider the parameter estimation problem of linear regression model when the auxiliary information can be denoted by moment restrictions. We use the weighted least squares method to estimate the model parameters and to obtain the weights based on the auxiliary information by using the empirical likelihood method. The limiting distribution of the estimator is established, and the simulation studies are carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of our theoretical results.

  • We discuss how to use auxiliary information to improve the efficiency of regression model parameter estimation when auxiliary information exists

Summary

Introduction

Suppose 􏼈(X1, Y1), (X2, Y2), . . . , (Xn, Yn)􏼉 is an independent and identically distributed random sample from the following regression model: Yi ατXi + εi, i 1, 2, . . . , n,. (Xn, Yn)􏼉 is an independent and identically distributed random sample from the following regression model: Yi ατXi + εi, i 1, 2, . Empirical likelihood method is widely used in statistical inference of various models. Empirical likelihood method is first proposed by. Empirical likelihood method is used for statistical inference of various models Some statisticians have begun to pay attention to the statistical inference of semiparametric regression model with constraints (see Amini and Roozbeh [16], Roozbeh and Hamzah [17], and Roozbeh et al [18]). Convergence “almost surely” is written as “a.s.” A ⊗ B denotes the Kronecker product of matrices A and B, ‖ · ‖ denotes Euclidean norm of the matrix or vector, Aτ denotes the transposition of the matrix or the column vector A, op(1) denotes a random variable that converges to zero in probability, and Op(1) denotes a random variable that is bounded in probability
