We propose a multivariate realised kernel to estimate the ex-post covariation of log-prices. We show this new consistent estimator is guaranteed to be positive semi-definite and is robust to measurement noise of certain types and can also handle non-synchronous trading. It is the first estimator...

As an extension to normal gamma and normal inverse Gaussian models, all normal stable Tweedie (NST) models are introduced for getting a simple form of the determinant of the covariance matrix, so-called generalized variance. As alternatives to the standard normal model, multivariate NST models...

In a recent paper we have introduced the class of realised kernel estimators of the increments of quadratic variation in the presence of noise. We showed that this estimator is consistent and derived its limit distribution under various assumptions on the kernel weights. In this paper we extend...

This paper shows how to use realised kernels to carry out efficient feasible inference on the ex-post variation of underlying equity prices in the presence of simple models of market frictions. The issue is subtle with only estimators which have symmetric weights delivering consistent estimators...

Model selection is an important component of data analysis. This study focuses on issues of model selection for the trend vector model, a model for the analysis of longitudinal multinomial outcomes. The trend vector model is a so-called marginal model, focusing on population averaged evolutions...

We study the k-dimensional gamma-Gaussian model (k1) composed by distributions of random vector X=(X1,X2,…,Xk)⊤, where X1 is a univariate gamma distributed, and (X2,…,Xk) given X1 are k−1 real independent Gaussian variables with variance X1. We first solve a particular Monge–Ampère...
