摘要
In this paper, we consider to apply the empirical likelihood method to a probability density function under an associated sample. It is shown that the empirical likelihood ratio statistic is asymptotically chi(2)-type distributed under some mild conditions. The result is used to construct empirical likelihood-based confidence intervals on the probability density function. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
