Nonparametric estimation of linear multiplier for stochastic differential equations driven by multiplicative stochastic volatility

Abstract

We study the problem of nonparametric estimation of the linear multiplier function θ(t)\theta(t) for processes satisfying stochastic differential equations of the type dXt=θ(t)Xtdt+ϵ  σ1(t,Xt)σ2(t,Yt)dWt,X0=x0,0tTdX_t= \theta(t)X_t dt+ \epsilon\; \sigma_1(t,X_t)\sigma_2(t,Y_t)dW_t, X_0=x_0, 0 \leq t \leq T where {Wt,t0}\{W_t, t\geq 0\} is a standard Brownian motion, {Yt,t0}\{Y_t, t\geq 0\} is a process adapted to the filtration generated by the Brownian motion. We study the problem of estimation of the unknown function θ(.)\theta(.) as ϵ0\epsilon \rightarrow 0 based on the observation of the process {Xt,0tT}.\{X_t,0\leq t \leq T\}.
