Statistical inference in massive datasets by empirical likelihood

With the rapid development of science and technologies, massive data can be collected at a large speed, especially in internet and financial fields. It is generally recognized that two major challenges in large-scale learning are estimation and inference due to large amount of computation. For statistical inference on massive data sets, Kleiner et al. (2014) proposed the bag of little bootstrap (BLB) to assess the quality of estimators. However, they used only a small number of random subsets, and partial observations from each subset. This implies less efficiency in application.
