Risk bounds for the non-parametric estimation of Le19 evy processes

چکیده
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 collection {Sm}m∈M, that approximately realizes the best trade-off between the error of estimation within S and the error incurred when approximating the true Lévy density by the linear model S. Using recent concentration inequalities for functionals of Poisson integrals, a bound for the risk of estimation is obtained. As a byproduct, oracle inequalities and longrun asymptotics for spline estimators are derived. Even though the resulting underlying statistics are based on continuous time observations of the process, approximations based on high-frequency discrete-data can be easily devised.

Central limit theorems for the non-parametric estimation of time-changed Le19 evy models
Let {Zt}t≥0 be a Lévy process with Lévy measure ν and let τ(t) := ∫ t 0 g(r̃(u))du be a random clock, where g is a non-negative function and {r̃(t)}t≥0 is an ergodic diffusion independent of Z. Time-changed Lévy models of the form Xt := Zτt are known to be good models to capture several stylized features of asset prices such as leptokurtic distributions and volatility clustering. In our previous ...

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 Lév...

In this regard, the current research is trying to consider identified landslides size probability in the Pivejan Watershed, Razavi Khorasan Province. In the first step, lands...
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...
