Maximum Pseudo-Likelihood Estimation of 1-Dim SDE
Description

of the 1-dim stochastic differential equation.

fitsde(data, drift, diffusion, start = list(), pmle = c("euler","kessler",
"ozaki", "shoji"), optim.method = "L-BFGS-B",
lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, ...)

Arguments
data
a univariate time series (ts class).
drift
drift coefficient: an expression of two variables t, x and theta a vector of parameters of sde. See Examples.
diffusion
diffusion coefficient: an expression of two variables t, x and theta a vector of parameters of sde. See Examples.
start
named list of starting values for optimizer. See Examples.
pmle
a character string specifying the method; can be either:
"euler" (Euler pseudo-likelihood),
"ozaki" (Ozaki pseudo-likelihood),
"shoji" (Shoji pseudo-likelihood), and
"kessler" (Kessler pseudo-likelihood).
optim.method
the method for optim.
lower, upper
bounds on the variables for the "Brent" or "L-BFGS-B" method.
object
an object inheriting from class "fitsde".
parm
a specification of which parameters are to be given confidence intervals, either a vector of names (example parm='theta1'). If missing, all parameters are considered.
level
the confidence level required.
...
further arguments to pass to optim.
Details
The function fitsde returns a pseudo-likelihood estimators of the drift and diffusion parameters in 1-dim stochastic
differential equation. The optim optimizer is used to find the maximum of the negative log pseudo-likelihood. An
approximate covariance matrix for the parameters is obtained by inverting the Hessian matrix at the optimum.
The pmle of pseudo-likelihood can be one among:"euler": Euler pseudo-likelihood), "ozaki": Ozaki pseudo-likelihood,
"shoji": Shoji pseudo-likelihood, and "kessler": Kessler pseudo-likelihood.
For more details see vignette("FitSDE").
Value
fitsde returns an object inheriting from class"fitsde".
