Abstract
    Under the  mixing random errors, we make the empirical likelihood (EL) inference for nonparametric regression models with fixed designs and missing responses. Based on the `complete sample' after nonparametric regression imputation, we show that the EL ratio statistic of the nonparametric regression function is asymptotically \chi^2-type distributed, which is used to obtain EL-based confidence intervals for the nonparametric regression function.
