Abstract: In this paper,we use the empirical likelihood method to modify the least-square type estimation of the error variance in linear correlation model. It is shown that the modified estimation has smaller asymptotic variance than the traditional one. Meanwhile,we have given a bootstrap approximation for the modified estimation.

Key words: Correlation model, error variance, least square, empirical likelihood, bootstrap
