Low frequency estimation of continuous-time moving average Lévy processes

Abstract

In this paper we study the problem of statistical inference for a continuous-time moving average L\évy process of the form Zt=RK(ts)dLs,tRZ_{t} = \int_{\mathbb{R}}\mathcal{K}(t-s)\, dL_{s},\quad t\in\mathbb{R} with a deterministic kernel (\K\) and a L{\é}vy process (L\). Especially the estimation of the L\évy measure (\nu\) of LL from low-frequency observations of the process ZZ is considered. We construct a consistent estimator, derive its convergence rates and illustrate its performance by a numerical example. On the technical level, the main challenge is to establish a kind of exponential mixing for continuous-time moving average L\évy processes.
