We are comparing two approaches for stochastic volatility and jumps estimation in the EUR/USD time series - the non-parametric power-variation approach using high-frequency returns, and the parametric Bayesian approach (MCMC estimation of SVJD models) using daily returns. We find that both of...

Methodology is proposed of how to utilize high-frequency power-variation estimators in the Bayesian estimation of Stochastic-Volatility Jump-Diffusion (SVJD) models. Realized variance is used as an additional source of information for the estimation of stochastic variances, while the Z-Estimator...

The aim of this paper is to propose and test a novel PF method called Sequential Gibbs Particle Filter allowing to estimate complex latent state variable models with unknown parameters. The framework is applied to a stochastic volatility model with independent jumps in returns and volatility....
