Quasi-maximum Likelihood Estimation of Discretely Observed Diffusions∗
This paper introduces quasi-maximum likelihood estimator for discretely observed diffusions when a closed-form transition density is unavailable. Higher order Wagner-Platen strong approximation is used to derive the first two conditional moments and a normal density function is used in estimation. Simulation study shows that the proposed estimator has high numerical precision and good numerical...
متن کاملEstimation for Discretely Observed Diffusions using Transform Functions
This paper introduces a new estimation technique for discretely observed diffusion processes. Transform functions are applied to transform the data to obtain good and easily calculated estimators of both the drift and diffusion coefficients. Consistency and asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators is investigated. Power transforms are used to estimate the parameters of affine diffusions...
متن کاملEstimation in discretely observed diffusions killed at a threshold
Parameter estimation in diffusion processes from discrete observations up to a first-hitting time is clearly of practical relevance, but does not seem to have been studied so far. In neuroscience, many models for the membrane potential evolution involve the presence of an upper threshold. Data are modeled as discretely observed diffusions which are killed when the threshold is reached. Statisti...
متن کاملMonte Carlo maximum likelihood estimation for discretely observed diffusion processes
This paper introduces a Monte Carlo method for maximum likelihood inference in the context of discretely observed diffusion processes. The method gives unbiased and a.s. continuous estimators of the likelihood function for a family of diffusion models and its performance in numerical examples is computationally efficient. It uses a recently developed technique for the exact simulation of diffus...
متن کاملOn Likelihood Estimation for Discretely Observed Markov Jump Processes
The parameter estimation problem for a Markov jump process sampled at equidistant time points is considered here. Unlike the diffusion case where a closed form of the likelihood function is usually unavailable, here an explicit expansion of the likelihood function of the sampled chain is provided. Under suitable ergodicity conditions on the jump process, the consistency and the asymptotic norma...
