In this paper, we focus on heteroscedastic partially linear varying-coefficient errors-in-variables models under right-censored data with censoring indicators missing at random. Based on regression calibration, imputation, and inverse probability weighted methods, we define a class of modified profile least square estimators of the parameter and local linear estimators of the coefficient function, which are applied to constructing estimators of the error variance function. In order to improve the estimation accuracy and take into account the heteroscedastic error, reweighted estimators of the parameter and coefficient function are developed. At the same time, we apply the empirical likelihood method to construct confidence regions and maximum empirical likelihood estimators of the parameter. Under appropriate assumptions, the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators is studied. The strong uniform convergence rate for the estimators of the error variance function is considered. Also, the asymptotic chi-squared distribution of the empirical log-likelihood ratio statistics is proved. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators. Meanwhile, one real data example is provided to illustrate our methods.

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.
