Prediction-based Estimating Functions for Diffusion Processes with Measurement Noise
نویسندگان
چکیده
The prediction-based estimating functions proposed by (Sørensen, 1999) are generalized to facilitate parameter estimation in discretely observed stochastic differential equations, where the observations are corrupted by additive white noise. The new class of estimating functions has most of the nice properties of martingale estimating functions. However, they may be applied when no obvious or easily calculated martingales exist. Simple expressions are derived for the optimal estimating functions when the classes of generalized prediction-based estimating functions are defined by a finite-dimensional space of predictors. Only unconditional moments are needed for this class of estimating functions, so a considerably smaller amount of simulation is needed compared to other classes of estimating functions based on conditional moments. Particular attention is devoted to the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model and stochastic volatility models. Using Monte Carlo simulation the smallsample properties are examined and the method is compared to other estimating functions.

Determination of Fiber Direction in High Angular Resolution Diffusion Images using Spherical Harmonics Functions and Wiener Filter
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) MRI is a noninvasive imaging method of the cerebral tissues whose fibers directions are not evaluated correctly in the regions of the crossing fibers. For the same reason the high angular resolution diffusion images (HARDI) are used for estimation of the fiber direction in each voxel. One of the main methods to specify the direction of fibers is usage of the spher...
متن کاملThe Pearson diffusions: A class of statistically tractable diffusion processes
The Pearson diffusions is a flexible class of diffusions defined by having linear drift and quadratic squared diffusion coefficient. It is demonstrated that for this class explicit statistical inference is feasible. Explicit optimal martingale estimating functions are found, and the corresponding estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. The discussion covers GMM, quasi-l...

The true MR signal intensity extracted from noisy MR magnitude images is biased with the Rician noise caused by noise rectification in the magnitude calculation for low intensity pixels. This noise is more problematic when a quantitative analysis is performed based on the magnitude images with low SNR(<3.0). In such cases, the received signal for both the real and imaginary components will fluc...
