Empirical Likelihood for Partial Linear Models under Negatively Associated Errors

In this paper, we use blockwise empirical likelihood (EL) technique to construct confidence regions for the parameter of the partial linear models under negatively associated errors. It is shown that the blockwise EL ratio statistic for the parameter of interest is asymptotically χ²-type distributed by employing the large-block and small-block arguments. The result can be used to obtain confidence regions for the parameter of interest.
