Empirical likelihood is widely used in many statistical problems. In this article, we provide a review of the empirical likelihood method, due to its significant development in recent years. Since the introduction of empirical likelihood, variants of empirical likelihood have been proposed, and the applications of empirical likelihood in high dimensions have also been studied. It is necessary to summarize the new development of empirical likelihood. In this article, we give a review of the Bayesian empirical likelihood, the bias-corrected empirical likelihood, the jackknife empirical likelihood, the adjusted empirical likelihood, the extended empirical likelihood, the transformed empirical likelihood, the mean empirical likelihood, and the empirical likelihood with high dimensions. Finally, we have a brief survey of the computation and implementation for empirical likelihood methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
