A comparative study on the performance of maximum likelihood, generalized least square, scale-free least square, partial least square and consistent partial least square estimators in structural equation modeling [PDF]
Structural equation modeling offers various estimation methods for estimating parameters. The most used method in covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) is the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator.

Empirical Likelihood Inference for the Cox Model with Time‐dependent Coefficients via Local Partial Likelihood [PDF]
Abstract. The Cox model with time‐dependent coefficients has been studied by a number of authors recently. In this paper, we develop empirical likelihood (EL) pointwise confidence regions for the time‐dependent regression coefficients via local partial likelihood smoothing.

Stress-strength reliability under partially accelerated life testing using Weibull model
The reliability of a system is the probability that its strength exceeds its stress. This reliability is called as the stress-strength reliability. The inferences of the stress-strength reliability R=P(X>Y), when: (1) the strength (X) and stress (Y) are ...

A SAS Package for Logistic Two-Phase Studies
Two-phase designs, in which for a large study a dichotomous outcome and partial or proxy information on risk factors is available, whereas precise or complete measurements on covariates have been obtained only in a stratified sub-sample, extend the ...

Partial quasi-likelihood analysis [PDF]
The quasi likelihood analysis is generalized to the partial quasi likelihood analysis. Limit theorems for the quasi likelihood estimators, especially the quasi Bayesian estimator, are derived in the situation where existence of a slow mixing component prohibits the Rosenthal type inequality from applying to the derivation of the polynomial type large ...

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.

Pseudo-Likelihood Estimation for Parameters of Stochastic Time-Fractional Diffusion Equations
Although stochastic fractional partial differential equations have received increasing attention in the last decade, the parameter estimation of these equations has been seldom reported in literature.
