Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Empirical Likelihood is a nonparametric statistical inference method. It is applied mainly to statistical test and construction of confidence intervals and not studied for statistical estimation. In this study, we show that EL can be applied to estimation problems with side information. Furthermore, by extending the geometrical aspect of EL, we propose an estimation method based on Entropy Maximization. Two methods differ only in the direction of Kullback-Leibler divergence, but the former has many estimators, while the latter is ensured to have only one estimator. We compare these performances in computer simulations with Maximum Likelihood estimators and sample averaged estimators. Consequently, two methods were shown to have comparable performances.
