Risk bounds for the non-parametric estimation of Lévy processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimation methods for the Lévy density of a Lévy process are developed under mild qualitative assumptions. A classical model selection approach made up of two steps is studied. The first step consists in the selection of a good estimator, from an approximating (finite-dimensional) linear model S for the true Lévy density. The second is a data-driven selection of a linear model S, among a given collection {Sm}m∈M, that approximately realizes the best trade-off between the error of estimation within S and the error incurred when approximating the true Lévy density by the linear model S. Using recent concentration inequalities for functionals of Poisson integrals, a bound for the risk of estimation is obtained. As a byproduct, oracle inequalities and longrun asymptotics for spline estimators are derived. Even though the resulting underlying statistics are based on continuous time observations of the process, approximations based on high-frequency discrete-data can be easily devised.

Lévy copulas: review of recent results
We review and extend the now considerable literature on Lévy copulas. First, we focus on Monte Carlo methods and present a new robust algorithm for the simulation of multidimensional Lévy processes with dependence given by a Lévy copula. Next, we review statistical estimation techniques in a parametric and a non-parametric setting. Finally, we discuss the interplay between Lévy copulas and mult...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation for pure jump irregularly sampled or noisy Lévy processes
In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density for pure jump Lévy processes. We consider n discrete time observations that may be irregularly sampled or possibly corrupted by a small noise independent of the main process. The case of non noisy observations with regular sampling interval has been studied by the authors in previous works which are the benchmark for the exten...
متن کاملA New Approach of Using Lévy Processes for Determining High-Frequency Value at Risk Predictions
A new approach for using Lévy processes to compute value at risk (VaR) using high-frequency data is presented in this paper. The approach is a parametric model using an ARMA(1,1)-GARCH(1,1) model where the tail events are modeled using the fractional Lévy stable noise and Lévy stable distribution. Using high-frequency data for the German DAX Index, the VaR estimates from this approach are compa...
