Convergence of Probability Measures

We are interested in the rate of convergence of the Euler scheme approximation of the solution to a stochastic differential equation driven by a general (possibly discontinuous) semimartingale, and by the asymptotic behavior of the associated normalized error. It is well known that for Ito’s equations the rate is $1/ \sqrt{n}$; we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for this rate to be $1/ \sqrt{n}$ when the driving semimartingale is a continuous martingale, or a continuous semimartingale under a mild additional assumption; we also prove that in these cases the normalized error processes converge in law. The rate can also differ from $1/ \sqrt{n}$: this is the case for instance if the driving process is deterministic, or if it is a Levy process without a Brownian component. It is again $1/ \sqrt{n}$ when the driving process is Levy with a nonvanishing Brownian component, but then the normalized error processes converge in law in the finite-dimensional sense only, while the discretized normalized error processes converge in law in the Skorohod sense, and the limit is given an explicit form.

Asymptotic error distributions for the Euler method for stochastic differential equations

We consider model based inference in a fractionally cointegrated (or cofractional) vector autoregressive model based on the conditional Gaussian likelihood. The model allows the process Xt to be fractional of order d and cofractional of order d b; that is, there exist vectorsfor which � 0 Xt is fractional of order d b: The parameters d and b satisfy either db � 1=2, d = b � 1=2, or d = d0 � b � 1=2. Our main technical contribution is the proof of consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators on the set 1=2� bdd1 for any d1� d0. To this end, we consider the conditional likelihood as a stochastic process in the parameters, and prove that it converges in distribution when errors are i.i.d. with suitable moment conditions and initial values are bounded. We then prove that the estimator ofis asymptotically mixed Gaussian and estimators of the remaining parameters are asymptotically Gaussian. We also …nd the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio test for cointegration rank, which is a functional of fractional Brownian motion of type II.

Likelihood inference for a fractionally cointegrated vector autoregressive model

We consider model based inference in a fractionally cointegrated (or cofractional) vector autoregressive model based on the conditional Gaussian likelihood. The model allows the process X(t) to be fractional of order d and cofractional of order d-b; that is, there exist vectors β for which β′X(t) is fractional of order d-b. The parameters d and b satisfy either d≥b≥1/2, d=b≥1/2, or d=d₀≥b≥1/2. Our main technical contribution is the proof of consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators on the set 1/2≤b≤d≤d₁ for any d₁≥d₀. To this end, we consider the conditional likelihood as a stochastic process in the parameters, and prove that it converges in distribution when errors are i.i.d. with suitable moment conditions and initial values are bounded. We then prove that the estimator of β is asymptotically mixed Gaussian and estimators of the remaining parameters are asymptotically Gaussian. We also find the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio test for cointegration rank, which is a functional of fractional Brownian motion of type II.

Likelihood Inference for a Fractionally Cointegrated Vector Autoregressive Model

We consider model based inference in a fractionally cointegrated (or cofractional) vector autoregressive model based on the conditional Gaussian likelihood. The model allows the process X_{t} to be fractional of order d and cofractional of order d-b; that is, there exist vectors β for which β′X_{t} is fractional of order d-b. The parameters d and b satisfy either d≥b≥1/2, d=b≥1/2, or d=d_{0}≥b≥1/2. Our main technical contribution is the proof of consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators on the set 1/2≤b≤d≤d_{1} for any d_{1}≥d_{0}. To this end, we consider the conditional likelihood as a stochastic process in the parameters, and prove that it converges in distribution when errors are i.i.d. with suitable moment conditions and initial values are bounded. We then prove that the estimator of β is asymptotically mixed Gaussian and estimators of the remaining parameters are asymptotically Gaussian. We also find the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio test for cointegration rank, which is a functional of fractional Brownian motion of type II.
