Statistical estimation of multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and applications to co-integration

چکیده

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models are continuous-time processes which have broad applications in finance as, e.g., volatility processes in stochastic volatility models or spread models in spread options and pairs trading. The paper presents a least squares estimator for the model parameter in a multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model driven by a multivariate regularly varying Lévy process with infinite variance. We show that the estimator is consistent. Moreover, we derive its asymptotic behavior and test statistics. The results are compared to the finite variance case. For the proof we require some new results on multivariate regular variation of products of random vectors and central limit theorems. Furthermore, we embed this model in the setup of a co-integrated model in continuous time. JEL Classifications: C13, C23

A Statistical Study of two Diffusion Processes on Torus and Their Applications

Diffusion Processes such as Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes are the classes of stochastic processes that have been investigated by researchers in various disciplines including biological sciences. It is usually assumed that the outcomes of these processes are laid on the Euclidean spaces. However, some data in physical, chemical and biological phenomena indicate that they cann...

Review of Statistical Arbitrage , Cointegration , and Multivariate Ornstein - Uhlenbeck

We introduce the multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, solve it analytically, and discuss how it generalizes a vast class of continuous-time and discretetime multivariate processes. Relying on the simple geometrical interpretation of the dynamics of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process we introduce cointegration and its relationship to statistical arbitrage. We illustrate an application to swap co...

A Multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Type Stochastic Volatility Model

Using positive semidefinite processes of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type a multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) type stochastic volatility model is introduced. We derive many important statistical and probabilistic properties, e.g. the complete second order structure and a state-space representation. Noteworthy, many of our results are shown to be valid for the more general class of multivariate stocha...

Multivariate Autoregressive and Ornstein-uhlenbeck Processes: Estimates for Order, Parameters, Spectral Information, and Conndence Regions

Fast methods are presented for identifying a multivariate autoregressive model that is appropriate to represent large, potentially high-dimensional time series data as they occur, e.g., in geophysical applications. The algorithms are based on the concept of least-squares estimation, which is known to yield consistent and asymptotically unbiased coeecient matrix estimates that also perform well ...

Multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with mean-field dependent coefficients: application to postural sway.

We study the transient and stationary behavior of many-particle systems in terms of multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with friction and diffusion coefficients that depend nonlinearly on process mean fields. Mean-field approximations of this kind of system are derived in terms of Fokker-Planck equations. In such systems, multiple stationary solutions as well as bifurcations of stationary...
