Approximations for the distributions of bounded variation Le19 evy processes

چکیده
Abstract: We propose a feasible method for approximating the marginal distributions and densities of a bounded variation Lévy process using polynomial expansions. We provide a fast recursive formula for approximating the coefficients of the expansions and estimating the order of the approximation error. Our expansions are shown to be the exact counterpart of successive approximations of the Lévy process by compound Poisson processes previously proposed by, for instance, Barndorff-Nielsen and Hubalek (2008) [Probability measures, Lévy measures, and analyticity in time. Bernoulli, 3(14), 764-790] and others, and hence, give an answer to an open problem raised therein.

Small-time expansions for the transition distributions of Le19 evy processes
Let X = (Xt)t≥0 be a Lévy process with absolutely continuous Lévy measure ν. Small time expansions, polynomial in t, are obtained for the tails P (Xt ≥ y) of the process. The conditions imposed on X require for Xt to have a C∞-transition density, whose derivatives remain uniformly bounded away from the origin, as t → 0. Such conditions are shown to be satisfied for symmetric stable Lévy process...
متن کاملRisk bounds for the non-parametric estimation of Le19 evy processes
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...
متن کاملExponential functionals of Le19 evy processes
Throughout this work, we shall consider a real-valued Lévy process ξ = (ξt, t ≥ 0), refering to [5, 60] for background. This means that the process ξ starts from ξ0 = 0, has right-continuous paths with left-limits, and if (Ft)t≥0 denotes the natural filtration generated by ξ, then the increment ξt+s − ξt is independent of Ft and has the same law as ξs for every s, t ≥ 0. It is well-known (see e...
متن کامل@bullet Muhammad Karvllil Habib. Sampling Representations and Approximations for Certain Functions and Stochastic Processes. (under the Direction of Stamatis Cambanis.)
Sampling representations and approximations of deterministic and random signals are important in communication and information theory. Finite sampling approximations are derived for certain functions and processes which are not bandlimited, as well as bounds on the approximation errors. Also derived are sampling representations for bounded linear operators acting on certain classes of band-limi...
متن کاملAn introduction to Le19 evy processeswith applications in finance
Abstract: These lectures notes aim at introducing Lévy processes in an informal and intuitive way, accessible to non-specialists in the field. In the first part, we focus on the theory of Lévy processes. We analyze a ‘toy’ example of a Lévy process, viz. a Lévy jump-diffusion, which yet offers significant insight into the distributional and path structure of a Lévy process. Then, we present sev...
