On the distances between probability density functions
We give estimates of the distance between the densities of the laws of two functionals F and G on the Wiener space in terms of the Malliavin-Sobolev norm of F −G. We actually consider a more general framework which allows one to treat with similar (Malliavin type) methods functionals of a Poisson point measure (solutions of jump type stochastic equations). We use the above estimates in order to...
متن کاملDistances between probability distributions via characteristic functions and biasing
In a spirit close to classical Stein’s method, we introduce a new technique to derive first order ODEs on differences of characteristic functions. Then, using concentration inequalities and Fourier transform tools, we convert this information into sharp bounds for the so-called smooth Wasserstein metrics which frequently arise in Stein’s method theory. Our methodolgy is particularly efficient w...
متن کاملEstimating and Interpreting Probability Density Functions
This paper examines two approaches to estimating implied risk-neutral probability density functions from the prices of European-style options. It sets up a monte carlo test to evaluate alternative techniques’ ability to recover simulated distributions based on Heston’s (1993) stochastic volatility model. The paper tests both for the accuracy and stability of the estimated summary statistics fro...
متن کاملFunctional Models and Probability Density Functions
There exist many approaches to discern a functional relationship between two variables. A functional model is useful for two reasons: Firstly, if the function is a relatively simple model in the plane, it provides us with qualitative information about the relationship. Secondly, given a fixed value for one variable, the other one can be calculated as a means for prediction. In this paper an app...
متن کاملUnsupervised Riemannian Clustering of Probability Density Functions
We present an algorithm for grouping families of probability density functions (pdfs). We exploit the fact that under the square-root re-parametrization, the space of pdfs forms a Riemannian manifold, namely the unit Hilbert sphere. An immediate consequence of this re-parametrization is that different families of pdfs form different submanifolds of the unit Hilbert sphere. Therefore, the proble...
