چکیده

In this paper we consider a discretely sampled Jacobi process appropriate to specify the dynamics of a process with range [0,1], such as a discount coefficient, a regime probability, or a state price. The discrete time transition of the Jacobi process does not admit a closed form expression and therefore the exact maximum likelihood is unfeasable. We first review different characterizations of the transition function based on nonlinear canonical decomposition, partial differential equations.. They allow for approximations of the log-likelihood function which can be used to define an approximated maximum likelihood estimator. The finite sample properties of this estimator are compared with the properties of Kessler and Sorensen’s estimator based on the eigenfunctions of the generator of the diffusion. But also simulation based estimators, such as generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator, simulated method of moments (SMM) estimator or indirect inference estimator are considered. Résumé Dans cet essai, nous considérons un processus de Jacobi échantillonné en temps discret permettant de spécifier la dynamique de processus à valeurs dans [0, 1], tels qu’ un coéfficient d’actualisation, une probabilité de régime, ou un prix d’état.

Nous rappelons dans un premier temps diverses caractérisations de la fonction de transition en nous appuyant sur la décomposition canonique non linéaire, sur les équations différentielles partielles.. Elles induisent des approximations de la fonction de vraisemblance qui peuvent être utilisées afin de définir un estimateur du maximum de vraisemblance approximé. Les propriétés de petit échantillon de cet estimateur sont alors comparées à celles de l’estimateur fondé sur les fonctions propres de Kessler et Sorensen. Nous considérons également des estimateurs obtenus par simulations, tels l’estimateur des moments généralisés (GMM), l’estimateur des moments simulés (SMM) ou encore l’estimateur par inférence indirecte.

Titchmarsh theorem for Jacobi Dini-Lipshitz functions

Our aim in this paper is to prove an analog of Younis's Theorem on the image under the Jacobi transform of a class functions satisfying a generalized Dini-Lipschitz condition in the space $mathrm{L}_{(alpha,beta)}^{p}(mathbb{R}^{+})$, $(1< pleq 2)$.

On the Markov sequence problem for Jacobi polynomials

We give a simple and entirely elementary proof of Gasper’s theorem on the Markov sequence problem for Jacobi polynomials. It is based on the spectral analysis of an operator that arises in the study of a probabilistic model of colliding molecules introduced by Marc Kac. In the process, we obtain some new integral formulas for ratios of Jacobi polynomials that generalize Gasper’s product formula...
