It is an important task in the literature to check whether a fitted autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model is adequate, while the currently used tests may suffer from the size distortion problem when the underlying autoregressive models have low persistence. To fill this gap, this paper proposes two empirical likelihood-based portmanteau tests. The first one is naive but can serve as a benchmark, and the second is for the case with infinite variance innovations. The asymptotic distributions under the null hypothesis are derived under mild moment conditions, and their usefulness is demonstrated by simulation experiments and two real data examples.
