Empirical Likelihood, The Book and Software
the R package: emplik and The book

Empirical Likelihood Method in Survival Analysis, 2016

Examples of Using the emplik Package:
There are lots of examples of using emplik package in this New Book. Some Example R codes from the book.
Here is a Lecture Note of using R for survival analysis which contain some more simple examples of  how to use the functions inside emplik several more examples .   The package emplik includes over 30 functions, to be used with software R. It can handle censored or uncensored data. It has functions to carry out Empirical Likelihood analysis for one sample, two samples or AFT regression models. Parameter can be defined via CDF or hazard function (i.e. mean, probability or hazard). The package ELYP contains functions for dealing with empirical likelihood inside a Cox model, and its generalization: the Yang and Prentice model.  A typical example is the construction of confidence interval for a parameter defined by beta (regression coef) and baseline hazard.

Additional Readings:
Tech Report (2011)  Hazard Estimating Equations and Empirical Likelihood  where Hazard Empirical Likelihood (with right censored data) is used with
Hazard estimating equations. Similar results to those of Qin and Lawless (1994) were obtained. In particular over-determined estimating equations are studied.
Three examples are given.

Tech Report (2020)  A Note on the Computation of Empirical Likelihood Confidence Intervals for Hazard Integrals
where we demonstrate how to compute Wilks confidence intervals for hazard integral based on empirical likelihood with right censored data.
They are much faster than similar intervals for the mean parameter. Confidence regions for parameters of dim > 1 can similarly benifit from this method.

The package kmc  is written and maintained by Yifan Yang. It offers a faster computation of the right censored
data empirical likelihood with a parameter estimator of Kaplan-Meier integrals.
 
The package emplik2  is for empirical likelihood tests in a 2-sample setting. It is written by Bill Barton and improved by
me and maintained by me since several years ago.
You have to download it from CRAN. It can test the hypothesis
 Ho:  E_{x, y} g(x, y) = \mu   This include Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, or Aera Under Curve
for ROC curve.  

The package emplikAUC  is for empirical likelihood tests for AUC and pAUC. It is 
maintained by me.

 
For some simple two sample test
of   \int g_1(t) d \Lambda_1(t) - \int g_2(t) d \Lambda_2(t) =0
you may use the package emplik, see the book.

The package pAUC is for  empirical likelihood analysis for the AUC and pAUC of ROC curves. It also deals with trimmed mean
and Lorenz curve. This package is maintained by Ms. Zhao YM.

pAUC version 0.1     (source code)  10/26/2016

pAUC version 0.2      11/23/2016

To install the source code into your R, first download it and then
try  > install.packages("C:\path\to\dowloaded\pAUC_0.2.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")
