Spot volatility estimation using delta sequences
We introduce a large class of non-parametric spot volatility estimators based on delta sequences and conceived to include many of the existing estimators as special cases. The full limit theory under infill asymptotics and finite timehorizon is first derived in the pure diffusive settings. We then extend our class of estimators to include Poisson jumps and/or financial microstructure noise in t...
متن کاملProbability Density Estimation Using Entropy Maximization
We propose a method for estimating probability density functions and conditional density functions by training on data produced by such distributions. The algorithm employs new stochastic variables that amount to coding of the input, using a principle of entropy maximization. It is shown to be closely related to the maximum likelihood approach. The encoding step of the algorithm provides an est...
متن کاملProbability Density Function Estimation using theMinMax
| The problem of initial probability assignment consistent with the available information about a probabilis-tic system is called a direct problem. Jaynes' maximum en-tropy principle (MaxEnt) provides a method for solving direct problems when the available information is in the form of moment constraints. On the other hand, given a probability distribution, the problem of nding a set of constra...
متن کاملProbability density estimation using artificial neural networks
We present an approach for the estimation of probability density functions (pdf) given a set of observations. It is based on the use of feedforward multilayer neural networks with sigmoid hidden units. The particular characteristic of the method is that the output of the network is not a pdf, therefore, the computation of the network’s integral is required. When this integral cannot be performe...
