Nonparametric estimation of the derivatives of the stationary density for stationary processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 December 2012
Abstract
In this article, our aim is to estimate the successive derivatives of the stationary density f of a strictly stationary and β-mixing process (Xt)t≥0. This process is observed at discrete times t = 0,Δ,...,nΔ. The sampling interval Δ can be fixed or small. We use a penalized least-square approach to compute adaptive estimators. If the derivative f(j) belongs to the Besov space \hbox{$\rond{B}_{2,\infty}^{\alpha}$}B2,∞α, then our estimator converges at rate (nΔ)−α/(2α+2j+1). Then we consider a diffusion with known diffusion coefficient. We use the particular form of the stationary density to compute an adaptive estimator of its first derivative f′. When the sampling interval Δ tends to 0, and when the diffusion coefficient is known, the convergence rate of our estimator is (nΔ)−α/(2α+1). When the diffusion coefficient is known, we also construct a quotient estimator of the drift for low-frequency data.
