Empirical likelihood (EL) is an estimation method in statistics. Empirical likelihood estimates require fewer assumptions about the error distribution compared to similar methods like maximum likelihood. The estimation method requires that the data are independent and identically distributed (iid). It performs well even when the distribution is asymmetric or censored. EL methods can also handle constraints and prior information on parameters. Art Owen pioneered work in this area with his 1988 paper.
