摘要
In this paper, we study the construction of confidence intervals for a probability density function under a (positively) associated sample by using the blockwise technique. It is shown that the blockwise empirical likelihood (EL) ratio statistic is asymptotically chi(2)-type distributed. The result is used to obtain EL-based confidence interval for the probability density function. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
