We prove that the empirical log-likelihood ratio for the regression parameters converges in law to a weighted sum of independent chi-square distributions. Our simulation shows that the proposed empirical likelihood method produces more accurate confidence regions in terms of coverage probability than the asymptotic normality method %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ijsp/article/view/0/37918
