+Suppose Z_1, Z_2,..., Z_n are independent copies of Z=(X,Y),
+where X and Y-theta have the same marginal distributions. We want to test
+if theta equals some specific value, say 0. One way to do this is using two
+samples t test. There is another way by using empirical likelihood methods.
+Under some certain conditions, -2 log(R(theta)) has a limiting chi-square
+distribution. This method is much better by using the two samples t test.
+The empirical approach can later on be used to estimate the value of theta.
