Adaptive Pointwise Estimation for Pure Jump Lévy Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with adaptive kernel estimation of the Lévy density N(x) for bounded-variation pure-jump Lévy processes. The sample path is observed at n discrete instants in the ”high frequency” context (∆ = ∆(n) tends to zero while n∆ tends to infinity). We construct a collection of kernel estimators of the function g(x) = xN(x) and propose a method of local adaptive selection of the bandwidth. We provide an oracle inequality and a rate of convergence for the quadratic pointwise risk. This rate is proved to be the optimal minimax rate. We give examples and simulation results for processes fitting in our framework. We also consider the case of irregular sampling.

Nonparametric estimation for pure jump irregularly sampled or noisy Lévy processes
In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density for pure jump Lévy processes. We consider n discrete time observations that may be irregularly sampled or possibly corrupted by a small noise independent of the main process. The case of non noisy observations with regular sampling interval has been studied by the authors in previous works which are the benchmark for the exten...
متن کاملNonparametric adaptive estimation for pure jump Lévy processes
This paper is concerned with nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density of a pure jump Lévy process. The sample path is observed at n discrete instants with fixed sampling interval. We construct a collection of estimators obtained by deconvolution methods and deduced from appropriate estimators of the characteristic function and its first derivative. We obtain a bound for the L-risk, under ge...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation for Pure Jump Lévy Processes Based on High Frequency Data
Abstract. In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density for pure jump Lévy processes. We consider n discrete time observations with step ∆. The asymptotic framework is: n tends to infinity, ∆ = ∆n tends to zero while n∆n tends to infinity. First, we use a Fourier approach (“frequency domain”): this allows to construct an adaptive nonparametric estimator and to provide a b...
متن کاملEfficient maximum likelihood estimation for Lévy-driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes
We consider the problem of efficient estimation of the drift parameter of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type process driven by a Lévy process when high-frequency observations are given. The estimator is constructed from the time-continuous likelihood function that leads to an explicit maximum likelihood estimator and requires knowledge of the continuous martingale part. We use a thresholding technique ...
متن کاملPure Jump Lévy Processes for Asset Price Modelling
The goal of the paper is to show that some types of Lévy processes such as the hyperbolic motion and the CGMY are particularly suitable for asset price modelling and option pricing. We wish to review some fundamental mathematic properties of Lévy distributions, such as the one of infinite divisibility, and how they translate observed features of asset price returns. We explain how these process...
