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...

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....

We formulate a bivariate stochastic volatility jump-diffusion model with correlated jumps and volatilities. An MCMC Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm is proposed to estimate the model's parameters and latent state variables (jumps and stochastic volatilities) given observed returns. The...
