Jackknife Empirical Likelihood Methods

Abstract

Since Jing et al. [1] propose the jackknife empirical likelihood method for U-statistics, the method has been developed and applied to inference problems in statistical theory and other areas such as biostatistics, medical statistics and insurance. In this short review paper, we give an introduction on one sample and two-sample jackknife empirical methods and smoothed jackknife empirical likelihood methods and present a brief literature review on applications of these methods.
