Numerical estimation of volatility values from discretely observed diffusion data
We consider a Black-Scholes type model, but with volatility being a Markov Chain process. Assuming that the stock price is observed at discrete, possibly random times, the goal is to estimate the current volatility value. The model parameters, that is, the possible volatility values and transition probabilities, are estimated using the Multiscale Trend Analysis method of Zaliapin, Gabrielov and...
متن کاملSemiparametric estimation of volatility functions of diffusion processes from discretely observed data
This paper provides a semiparametric model to estimate processes of the volatility defined as the squared diffusion coefficient of a stochastic differential equation. Without assuming any functional form of the volatility function, we estimate the volatility process by filtering. We prove the consistency of the model in the sense that estimated processes converge to the true ones as the number ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo maximum likelihood estimation for discretely observed diffusion processes
This paper introduces a Monte Carlo method for maximum likelihood inference in the context of discretely observed diffusion processes. The method gives unbiased and a.s. continuous estimators of the likelihood function for a family of diffusion models and its performance in numerical examples is computationally efficient. It uses a recently developed technique for the exact simulation of diffus...
متن کاملClustering of discretely observed diffusion processes
Abstract In this paper a new dissimilarity measure to identify groups of assets dynamics is proposed. The underlying generating process is assumed to be a diffusion process solution of stochastic differential equations and observed at discrete time. The mesh of observations is not required to shrink to zero. As distance between two observed paths, the quadratic distance of the corresponding est...
متن کاملEstimation in discretely observed diffusions killed at a threshold
Parameter estimation in diffusion processes from discrete observations up to a first-hitting time is clearly of practical relevance, but does not seem to have been studied so far. In neuroscience, many models for the membrane potential evolution involve the presence of an upper threshold. Data are modeled as discretely observed diffusions which are killed when the threshold is reached. Statisti...
