The Effects of Random and Discrete Sampling When Estimating Continuous-time Diffusions
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-frequency financial data are not only discretely sampled in time but the time separating successive observations is often random. We analyze the consequences of this dual feature of the data when estimating a continuous-time model. In particular, we measure the additional effects of the randomness of the sampling intervals over and beyond those due to the discreteness of the data. We also examine the effect of simply ignoring the sampling randomness. We find that in many situations the randomness of the sampling has a larger impact than the discreteness of the data.

Estimating Continuous-Time Models with Discretely Sampled Data∗
This lecture surveys the recent literature on estimating continuous-time models using discrete observations. I start with the simplest possible framework and review different possible approaches as I progressively relax the assumptions made, to include different data generating processes (such as multivariate diffusions or jump processes), different observation schemes (such as incorporating ma...
متن کاملEstimating functions for jump-diffusions
The theory of approximate martingale estimating functions for continuous diffusions is well developed and encompasses many estimators proposed in the literature. This paper extends the asymptotic theory for approximate martingale estimating functions to diffusions with finite-activity jumps. The primary aim is to shed light on the question of rate optimality and efficiency of estimators when ob...
متن کاملProbability and Sampling Distributions
When an experiment is conducted, such as tossing coins, rolling a die, sampling for estimating the proportion of defective units, several outcomes or events occur with certain probabilities. These events or outcomes may be regarded as a variable which takes different values and each value is associated with a probability. The values of this variable depends on chance or probability. Such a vari...
متن کاملHow to Use MRP in Continuous Production Industries When Order Type is Lot for Lot
The Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) method that is applied in production planning and management has some weaknesses. One of its weaknesses is that the time in MRP method is discrete, and is considered as time period. Hence we are not able to order our requirements at irregular time moments or periods. In this paper, a new form of MRP is introduced that is named Continuous Materials Requi...
متن کاملDiffusions in random environment and ballistic behaviour
In this thesis, we study continuous diffusions in random environment on Rd . The randomness in the environment is incorporated in the diffusion matrix and the drift term that are stationary random variables. Once the environment is chosen, it remains fixed in time, and the diffusion evolving in this frozen environment is a Markov process. To restore some stationarity, it is common to average bo...
