Block empirical likelihood inference for semiparametric varying-coeffcient partially linear errors-in-variables models with longitudinal data is investigated. We apply the block empirical likelihood procedure to accommodate the within-group correlation of the longitudinal data. The block empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic for the parametric component is suggested. And the nonparametric version of Wilk’s theorem is derived under mild conditions. Simulations are carried out to access the performance of the proposed procedure.

By using the empirical likelihood method, a testing method is proposed for longitudinal varying coefficient models. Some simulations and a real data analysis are undertaken to investigate the power of the empirical likelihood based testing method.

In this paper, we consider a single-index varying-coefficient model with application to longitudinal data. In order to accommodate the within-group correlation, we apply the block empirical likelihood procedure to longitudinal single-index varying-coefficient model, and prove a nonparametric version of Wilks’ theorem which can be used to construct the block empirical likelihood confidence region with asymptotically correct coverage probability for the parametric component. In comparison with normal approximations, the proposed method does not require a consistent estimator for the asymptotic covariance matrix, making it easier to conduct inference for the model's parametric component. Simulations demonstrate how the proposed method works.
