โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we consider the application of the empirical likelihood method to partially linear model. Unlike the usual cases, we first propose an approximation to the residual of the model to deal with the nonparametric part so that Owen's (1990) empirical likelihood approach can be applied. Then, under quite general conditions, we prove that the empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic is asymptotically chisquared distributed. Therefore, the empirical likelihood confidence regions can be constructed accordingly.

Consider the partial linear model Y i =X { i ;+ g(T i )+= i , i=1, ..., n, where ; is a p\_1 unknown parameter vector, g is an unknown function, X i 's are p\_1 observable covariates, T i 's are other observable covariates in [0, 1], and Y i 's are the response variables.

Nonparametric versions of Wilks' theorem are proved for empirical likelihood estimators of slope and mean parameters for a simple linear regression model. They enable us to construct empirical likelihood confidence intervals for these parameters. The coverage errors of these confidence intervals are
