AbstractThe usual approach to computing empirical likelihood for the mean uses Newton's method after eliminating a Lagrange multiplier and replacing the function by a quadratic Taylor approximation to the left of . This paper replaces the quadratic approximation by a quartic. The result is a self‐concordant function for which Newton's method with backtracking has theoretical convergence...
