Optimal Sparse Volatility Matrix Estimation for High-dimensional Itô Processes with Measurement Errors By

چکیده
Stochastic processes are often used to model complex scientific problems in fields ranging from biology and finance to engineering and physical science. This paper investigates rate-optimal estimation of the volatility matrix of a high-dimensional Itô process observed with measurement errors at discrete time points. The minimax rate of convergence is established for estimating sparse volatility matrices. By combining the multi-scale and threshold approaches we construct a volatility matrix estimator to achieve the optimal convergence rate. The minimax lower bound is derived by considering a subclass of Itô processes for which the minimax lower bound is obtained through a novel equivalent model of covariance matrix estimation for independent but nonidentically distributed observations and through a delicate construction of the least favorable parameters. In addition, a simulation study was conducted to test the finite sample performance of the optimal estimator, and the simulation results were found to support the established asymptotic theory.

Many scientific and economic problems involve the analysis of highdimensional time series datasets. However, theoretical studies in highdimensional statistics to date rely primarily on the assumption of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) samples. In this work, we focus on stable Gaussian processes and investigate the theoretical properties of 1-regularized estimates in two importa...

High-frequency data observed on the prices of financial assets are commonly modeled by diffusion processes with micro-structure noise, and realized volatility-based methods are often used to estimate integrated volatility. For problems involving a large number of assets, the estimation objects we face are volatility matrices of large size. The existing volatility estimators work well for a smal...

متن کاملOption price sensitivity to errors in stochastic dynamics modeling
When asset prices are modelled by stochastic dynamics, the model parameters are estimated from financial data. We study how estimation errors on model parameters impact the computed option prices, in the case where asset price and volatility follow the classical joint stochastic differential equations (SDEs) parametric model of Heston. Model parameters are estimated by an approximate maximum li...
