To study the symmetry and asymmetry of the model error under multiplicative distortion measurement errors setting, we propose a correlation coefficient-based measure between the distribution function and the root of density function. The unknown distribution function and density function are estimated from four kinds of residuals: the conditional mean calibration-based residuals, the conditional absolute mean calibration-based residuals, the conditional variance calibrationbased residuals, and the conditional absolute logarithmic calibrationbased residuals. We study the asymptotic results of the estimators of correlation coefficient-based measure under four calibrations. Next, we consider statistical inference of the correlation coefficient-based measure by using the empirical likelihood method. The empirical likelihood statistics are shown to be an asymptotically standard chi-squared distribution. Simulation studies demonstrate the performance of the proposed estimators and test statistics. A real example is analyzed to illustrate its practical usage.
