Topic: Uniform and Lp Convergences for Nonparametric Kernel Estimation of Diffusion Models

Speaker: Bin Wang, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen

Time: Thursday, October 26, 14:00-15:00

Place: Room 217, Guanghua Building 2

Abstract:

We establish the uniform convergence rates of, nonparametric kernel estimators of the local time, kernel estimators and their derivatives of the drift and volatility functions, for a discretely sampled diffusion process that is possibly nonstationary. Our results are derived using two-dimensional asymptotics with time span increasing to infinity and sampling interval shrinking to zero simultaneously. We also propose modified kernel estimators of drift and volatility functions, which are smooth versions of truncated kernel estimators, and provide the Lp convergence rates of those modified kernel estimators as well as their derivatives. Our convergence results are useful for non/semiparametric inference for recurrent diffusion processes.
