Abstract:

Processes having the same bridges as a given reference Markov process constitute its reciprocal class. In this paper we study the reciprocal class of compound Poisson processes whose jumps belong to a finite set A in R^d. We propose a characterization of the reciprocal class as the unique set of probability measures on which a family of time and space transformations induces the same density, expressed in terms of the reciprocal invariants. The geometry of A plays a crucial role in the design of the transformations, and we use tools from discrete geometry to obtain an optimal characterization.

Abstract:

This thesis comprises of three essays that explore the theoretical development as well as the empirical applications of asset pricing models with Lévy jump processes. The first essay presents a new discrete-time framework that combines heteroskedastic processes with rich specifications of jumps in returns and volatility. Our models can be estimated with ease using standard maximum likelihood techniques. We evaluate the models by fitting a long sample of S&P500 index returns, and by valuing a large sample of options. We find strong empirical support for time-varying jump intensities

Abstract:

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part (Chapters 2-4) considers multilevel Monte Carlo for option pricing in finite activity jump-diffusion models. We use a jump-adapted Milstein discretisation for constant rate cases and with the thinning method for bounded state-dependent rate cases. Multilevel Monte Carlo estimators are constructed for Asian, lookback, barrier and digital options. The computational efficiency is numerically demonstrated and analytically justified. The second part (Chapter 5) deals with option pricing problems in exponential Lévy models where the increments of the

Abstract:

Markov jump processes (MJPs) have been used as models in various fields such as disease progression, phylogenetic trees, and communication networks. The main motivation behind this thesis is the application of MJPs to data modeled as having complex latent structure. In this thesis we propose a nonparametric prior, the gamma-exponential process (GEP), over MJPs. Nonparametric Bayesian models have recently attracted much attention in the statistics community, due to their flexibility, adaptability, and usefulness in analyzing complex real world datasets. The GEP is a prior over infinite rate mat

Abstract:

The topic of this thesis is the study of approximation schemes of jump processes whose driving noise is a Levy process. In the first part of our work we study properties of the driving noise. We present a novel approximation method for the density of a Levy process. The scheme makes use of a continuous time Markov chain defined through a careful analysis of the generator. We identify the rate of convergence and carry out a detailed analysis of the error. We also analyse the case of multidimensional Levy processes in the form of subordinate Brownian motion. We provide a weak scheme to approxima

Abstract:

In this study, we show that realized bipower variation which is an extension of realized power variation is an alternative method that estimates integrated variance like realized variance. It is seen that realized bipower variation is robust to rare jumps. Robustness means that if we add rare jumps to a stochastic volatility process, realized bipower variation process continues to estimate integrated variance although realized variance estimates integrated variance plus the quadratic variation of the jump component. This robustness is crucial since it separates the discontinuous component of q

Abstract:

In this paper, we consider as an inverse problem the simultaneous estimation of the five parameters of a jump diffusion process from return observations of a price trajectory. We show that there occur some ill-posedness phenomena in the parameter estimation problem, because the forward operator fails to be injective and small perturbations in the data may lead to large changes in the solution. We illustrate the instability effect by a numerical case study. To overcome the difficulty coming from ill-posedness we use a multi-parameter regularization approach that finds a trade-off between a leas

Abstract:

In the limit we analyze the generators of families of reversible jump processes in the n-dimensional space associated with a class of symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms and show exponential decay of the eigenfunctions. The exponential rate function is a Finsler distance, given as solution of certain eikonal equation. Fine results are sensitive to the rate functions being twice differentiable or just Lipschitz. Our estimates are similar to the semiclassical Agmon estimates for differential operators of second order. They generalize and strengthen previous results on the lattice.

Abstract:

The shortcomings of diffusion models in representing the risk related to large market movements have led to the development of various option pricing models with jumps. These models allow for a more realistic representation of price dynamics and greater flexibility in modelling and have therefore been the focus of much recent work. In this thesis the development of a robust finite difference method for the option pricing under jump-diffusion and Lévy processes is presented and its effectiveness is demonstrated on a range of pricing models.

In this thesis, we study some geometrical aspects of metric measure spaces (Rn, psi1/2 , mu)where mu is a locally finite regular Borel measure and a metric on psi1/2 which arises from a continuous negative definite function psi : Rn → R which satisfies psi(xi) ≥ 0 with psi(xi) = 0. This study is motivated by the investigation of a transition density estimate for pure jump processes on a general metric measure space. To gain a better insight into the behaviour of transition functions of symmetric Levy processes in this general setting, it seems desirable to understand geometrical proper

In this scenario, advanced statistical methods and algorithms are becoming fundamental to decipher the dynamics of biochemical mechanisms such those involved in the regulation of gene expression. Here we develop mechanistic models and approximate inference techniques to reverse engineer the dynamics of gene regulation, from mRNA and/or protein time series data. We start from an existent variational framework for statistical inference in transcriptional networks.

One may describe mean-field games as a type of stochastic differential game for which the interaction between the players is of mean-field type, i.e the players are coupled via their empirical measure.

We recast the theory of labelled Markov processes in a new setting, in a way "dual" to the usual point of view.

We define a notion of equivalence for such processes, called bisimulation,

Abstract:

Learning processes play a major role in controlling intake of food. Through repeated experiences an animal acquires the ability to predict the postingestive effects of a particular food (i.e., of its nutrients and energy) from its sensory characteristics. What is unclear from the literature, however, is whether an animal can anticipate the duration of subsequent food deprivation from predictive sensory qualities of a food, and hence increase the amount eaten of that cueing food. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the characteristics of this under-researched type of learning, i.

Abstract:

Behavioural scientists typically classify cognitive processes as either controlled or automatic. Whereas controlled processes are slow and effortful, automatic processes are fast and involuntary. Cognitive researchers have recently begun investigating how top-down influence in the form of suggestion can allow individuals to modulate the automaticity of deeply ingrained processes. The present thesis surveys a background of converging findings that collectively indicate that certain individuals can derail involuntary processes, such as reading. We extend previous Stroop findings to several ot

Abstract:

Sedimentary organic matter contains many compounds that have no obvious biogenic precursors, so their formation and occurrence are of geochemical interest. The first part of this thesis (chapters 2-5) discusses the results obtained from studying hydrocarbon racemates. Some of the compounds identified are also suggested as intermediates in the formation of alkylnaphthalenes identified in chapters 6-7. The second part of this thesis (chapters 6-11) covers the identification of a range of alkylnaphthalenes and alkylphenanthrenes in sedimentary organic matter. Possible pathways for the formation o
