Globally Optimal Parameter Estimates for Non-linear Diffusions
This paper studies an approximation method for the log likelihood function of a non-linear diffusion process using the bridge of the diffusion. The main result (Theorem 1) shows that this approximation converges uniformly to the unknown likelihood function and can therefore be used efficiently with any algorithm for sampling from the law of the bridge. We also introduce an expected maximum like...
متن کاملNon-linear Parameter Estimates from Non-stationary MEG Data
We demonstrate a method to estimate key electrophysiological parameters from resting state data. In this paper, we focus on the estimation of head-position parameters. The recovery of these parameters is especially challenging as they are non-linearly related to the measured field. In order to do this we use an empirical Bayesian scheme to estimate the cortical current distribution due to a ran...
متن کاملParameter - dependent optimal stopping problems for one - dimensional diffusions ∗
We consider a class of optimal stopping problems for a regular one-dimensional diffusion whose payoff depends on a linear parameter. As shown in [Bank and Föllmer(2003)] problems of this type may allow for a universal stopping signal that characterizes optimal stopping times for any given parameter via a level-crossing principle of some auxiliary process. For regular one-dimensional diffusions,...
متن کاملOptimal Multiple Stopping of Linear Diffusions
Motivated by the analysis of financial instruments with multiple exercise rights of American type and mean reverting underlyers, we formulate and solve the optimal multiple-stopping problem for a general linear regular diffusion process and a general reward function. Instead of relying on specific properties of geometric Brownian motion and call and put option payoffs as in most of the existing...
متن کاملComposing Globally Consistent Pathway Parameter Estimates Through Belief Propagation
Parameter estimation of large bio-pathway models is an important and difficult problem. To reduce the prohibitive computational cost, one approach is to decompose a large model into components and estimate their parameters separately. However, the decomposed components often share common parts that may have conflicting parameter estimates, as they are computed independently within each componen...
