We consider the Euler approximation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by Lévy processes in the case where we cannot simulate the increments of the driving process exactly. In some cases, where the driving process Y is a subordinated stable process, i.e., Y=Z(V) with V a...

We study simulated annealing algorithms to maximise a function [psi] on a subset of . In classical simulated annealing, given a current state [theta]n in stage n of the algorithm, the probability to accept a proposed state z at which [psi] is smaller, is exp(-[beta]n+1([psi](z)-[psi]([theta]n))...

The Euler scheme is a well-known method of approximation of solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). A lot of results are now available concerning the precision of this approximation in case of equations driven by a drift and a Brownian motion. More recently, people got interested...

Many proposals have been made recently for goodness-of-fit testing of copula models. After reviewing them briefly, the authors concentrate on "blanket tests", i.e., those whose implementation requires neither an arbitrary categorization of the data nor any strategic choice of smoothing...

Specification procedures for testing the null hypothesis of a Gaussian distribution for the innovations of GARCH models are compared using simulations. More precisely, Cramér–von Mises and Kolmogorov–Smirnov type statistics are computed for empirical processes based on the standardized...

Tie-corrected versions of Spearman’s rho are often used to measure the dependence in a pair of non-continuous random variables. Multivariate extensions of this coefficient, and estimators thereof, have recently been proposed by Quessy (2009a) [23] and Mesfioui and Quessy (2010) [19]....

Deheuvels proposed a rank test of independence based on a Cramer-von Mises functional of the empirical copula process. Using a general result on the asymptotic distribution of this process under sequences of contiguous alternatives, the local power curve of Deheuvels' test is computed in the...
