A note on estimating drift and diffusion parameters from timeseries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimating the deterministic drift and stochastic diffusion parameters from discretely sampled data is fraught with the potential for error. We derive a simple way of estimating the error due to the finite sampling rate in these parameters for a univariate system using a straightforward application of the Itô–Taylor expansion. The error is calculated up to first order in the finite sampling time increment t . We then compare the approximate results with the analysis of numerically generated timeseries where the answer is known. Furthermore, a meteorological real world example is discussed. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 02.50. Fz; 02.50. Ey; 02.50. Ga

Estimating functions for jump-diffusions
The theory of approximate martingale estimating functions for continuous diffusions is well developed and encompasses many estimators proposed in the literature. This paper extends the asymptotic theory for approximate martingale estimating functions to diffusions with finite-activity jumps. The primary aim is to shed light on the question of rate optimality and efficiency of estimators when ob...
متن کاملDamage Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Considering Irregularities (RESEARCH NOTE)
Structural damage can be controlled in performance based seismic design (PBSD) according to the requirement under a certain hazard level. During strong ground motion (GM) such buildings suffer minor to major damages depending on the shaking level of GM. The available damage assessment methods are complex, tedious and time-consuming procedure. In the present study, a simplified empirical model h...
متن کاملReconstruction of Diffusions Using Spectral Data from Timeseries
Abstract. A numerical technique for the reconstruction of diffusion processes (diffusions, in short) from data is presented. The drift and diffusion coefficients of the generator of the diffusion are found by minimizing an object function which measures the difference between the eigenspectrum of the operator and a reference eigenspectrum. The reference spectrum can be obtained, in discretized ...
متن کامل10ARSPC Template for Proceedings on CD ROM
Fuel load and fuel moisture content are crucial parameters in estimating bushfire risk. However, current measures of these parameters are not spatially distributed within fire districts; the district-level indices are derived from pointbased estimates at sparsely located stations. In addition, they are based on meteorological inputs alone, rather than observations, and are the major sources of ...
متن کاملA Two-stage Realized Volatility Approach to the Estimation for Diffusion Processes from Discrete Observations
This paper motivates and introduces a two-stage method for estimating diffusion processes based on discretely sampled observations. In the first stage we make use of the feasible central limit theory for realized volatility, as recently developed in Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2002), to provide a regression model for estimating the parameters in the diffusion function. In the second stage t...
