Abstract
In this paper, we consider a statistical model where samples are subject to measurement errors. Further, we propose a shrinkage estimation strategy by using the maximum empirical likelihood estimator (MELE) as the base estimator. Our asymptotic results clearly demonstrate the superiority of our proposed shrinkage strategy over the MELE. Monte Carlo simulation results show that such a performance still holds in finite samples. We apply our method to real data set.
