Lazar (2003) showed that in Bayesian inference, if one replaces the usual likelihood with the empirical likelihood, then posterior inference is still valid when the functional of interest is a smooth function of the posterior mean. However, it is not clear whether similar conclusions can be obtained for parameters defined in terms of $U$-statistics. We propose the so-called Bayesian jackknife empirical likelihood, which replaces the likelihood component with the jackknife empirical likelihood. We show, both theoretically and empirically, the validity of the proposed method as a general tool for Bayesian inference. Empirical analysis shows that the small-sample performance of the proposed method is better than its frequentist counterpart. Analysis of a case-control study for pancreatic cancer is used to illustrate the new approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/biomet\/asz031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,2]],"date-time":"2019-06-02T15:06:56Z","timestamp":1559488016000},"page":"981-988","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Bayesian jackknife empirical likelihood"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Y","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Insight, Georgia State University, 35 Broad St NW, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Georgia State University, 25 Park Place, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019111117080931100_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmva.2008.04.005","article-title":"Empirical likelihood based confidence intervals for copulas","volume":"100","author":"Chen,","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
