Seminarium i matematisk statistik fredagen den 27:e november 13.15 i MH227 Michael Sorensen Afdelningen for teoretisk statistik Koebenhavns universitet Titel: Estimating Functions for Diffusion Models Abstract: Likelihood inference is usually not feasible for diffusion models when the data are observation of the process at discrete time points. Estimating functions provide a useful alternative. The talk will focus on estimating functions based on eigenfunctions for the generator of the model. An application to exchange rate data will be discussed.
