Nonparametric volatility density estimation for discrete time models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider discrete time models for asset prices with a stationary volatility process. We aim at estimating the multivariate density of this process at a set of consecutive time instants. A Fourier type deconvolution kernel density estimator based on the logarithm of the squared process is proposed to estimate the volatility density. Expansions of the bias and bounds on the variance are derived.

Nonparametric Estimation in a Stochastic Volatility Model
In this paper we derive nonparametric stochastic volatility models in discrete time. These models generalize parametric autoregressive random variance models, which have been applied quite successfully to financial time series. For the proposed models we investigate nonparametric kernel smoothers. It is seen that so-called nonparametric deconvolution estimators could be applied in this situatio...

متن کاملNonparametric Specification Testing for Continuous-Time Models with Applications to Term Structure of Interest Rates
We develop a nonparametric specification test for continuous-time models using the transition density. Using a data transform and correcting for the boundary bias of kernel estimators, our test is robust to serial dependence in data and provides excellent finite sample performance. Besides univariate diffusion models, our test is applicable to a wide variety of continuous-time and discrete-time...
متن کاملMultivariate Nonparametric Volatility Density Estimation
We consider a continuous-time stochastic volatility model. The model contains a stationary volatility process, the multivariate density of the finite dimensional distributions of which we aim to estimate. We assume that we observe the process at discrete instants in time. The sampling times will be equidistant with vanishing distance. A multivariate Fourier-type deconvolution kernel density est...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Scalar Diffusions Based on Low Frequency Data1 by Emmanuel Gobet,
We study the problem of estimating the coefficients of a diffusion (Xt , t ≥ 0); the estimation is based on discrete data Xn ,n = 0,1, . . . ,N . The sampling frequency −1 is constant, and asymptotics are taken as the number N of observations tends to infinity. We prove that the problem of estimating both the diffusion coefficient (the volatility) and the drift in a nonparametric setting is ill...
