We provide a semi-parametric analysis for the proportional likelihood ratio model, proposed by Luo & Tsai (2012). We study the tangent spaces for both the parameter of interest and the nuisance parameter, and obtain an explicit expression for the efficient score function. We propose a family of Z-estimators based on the score functions, including an efficient estimator. Using inverse probability weighting, the proposed estimators can also be applied to different missing-data mechanisms, such as right censored data and non-random sampling. A simulation study that illustrates the finite-sample performance of the estimators is presented.
