Power Analysis for the Multivariable Logistic Model Using the Likelihood Ratio Test [PDF]
An asymptotic approach for conducting power analysis is described for the multiple logistic regression model. It is based on the likelihood ratio test statistic.

Likelihood ratios: A simple and flexible statistic for empirical psychologists [PDF]
Empirical studies in psychology typically employ null hypothesis significance testing to draw statistical inferences. We propose that likelihood ratios are a more straightforward alternative to this approach. Likelihood ratios provide a measure of the fit of two competing models; the statistic represents a direct comparison of the relative likelihood ...

Likelihood ratio tests for fixed model terms using residual maximum likelihood
Likelihood ratio tests for fixed model terms are proposed for the analysis of linear mixed models when using residual maximum likelihood estimation. Bartlett-type adjustments, using an approximate decomposition of the data, are developed for the test ...

Empirical Likelihood for Partial Parameters in ARMA Models with Infinite Variance
This paper proposes a profile empirical likelihood for the partial parameters in ARMA(p,q) models with infinite variance. We introduce a smoothed empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic. Also, the paper proves a nonparametric version of Wilks’s theorem.

On the P-value for Members of the Cressie-Read Family of Divergence Statistics
A few years ago a paper appeared in this Journal that proposed a closed-form approximation of the p-value for Pearson's chi-squared statistic. Extensive empirical and simulation studies were performed and it was shown that the approximation provides ...

Empirical Likelihood for Multidimensional Linear Model with Missing Responses
Imputation is a popular technique for handling missing data especially for plenty of missing values. Usually, the empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic under imputation is asymptotically scaled chi-squared because the imputing data are not i.i.d ...

Inference for Long-memory Time Series Models Based on Modified Empirical Likelihood
Empirical likelihood method has been applied to short-memory time series models by Monti (1997) through the Whittle's estimation method. Yau (2012) extended this idea to long-memory time series models. Asymptotic distributions of the empirical likelihood
