Langevin equation in heterogeneous landscapes: how to choose the interpretation

A Pacheco-Pozo, M Balcerek, A Wyłomanska… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The Langevin equation is a common tool to model diffusion at a single-particle level. In
nonhomogeneous environments, such as aqueous two-phase systems or biological …

[HTML][HTML] Online detrended fluctuation analysis and improved empirical wavelet transform for real-time oscillations detection in industrial control loops

W Bounoua, MF Aftab, CWP Omlin - Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) is a reliable and assumption-free approach

Maximum likelihood estimator for skew Brownian motion: the convergence rate

A Lejay, S Mazzonetto - Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We give a thorough description of the asymptotic property of the maximum likelihood
estimator (MLE) of the skewness parameter of a Skew Brownian Motion (SBM). Thanks to …

A threshold model for local volatility: evidence of leverage and mean reversion effects on historical data

A Lejay, P Pigato - International Journal of Theoretical and Applied …, 2019 - World Scientific
In financial markets, low prices are generally associated with high volatilities and vice-versa,
this well-known stylized fact is usually referred to as the leverage effect. We propose a local …

A Markov chain approximation scheme for option pricing under skew diffusions

K Ding, Z Cui, Y Wang - Quantitative Finance, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper, we propose a general valuation framework for option pricing problems related
to skew diffusions based on a continuous-time Markov chain approximation to the …

Extreme at-the-money skew in a local volatility model

P Pigato - Finance and Stochastics, 2019 - Springer
We consider a local volatility model, with volatility taking two possible values, depending on
the value of the underlying with respect to a fixed threshold. When the threshold is taken at …

A central limit theorem, loss aversion and multi-armed bandits

Z Chen, LG Epstein, G Zhang - Journal of Economic Theory, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper studies a multi-armed bandit problem where the decision-maker is loss averse, in
particular she is risk averse in the domain of gains and risk loving in the domain of losses …

Estimation of parameters and local times in a discretely observed threshold diffusion model

S Mazzonetto, P Pigato - arxiv preprint arxiv:2403.06858, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider a simple mean reverting diffusion process, with piecewise constant drift and
diffusion coefficients, discontinuous at a fixed threshold. We discuss estimation of drift and …

Maximum likelihood drift estimation for a threshold diffusion

A Lejay, P Pigato - Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We study the maximum likelihood estimator of the drift parameters of a stochastic differential
equation, with both drift and diffusion coefficients constant on the positive and negative axis …

Large ranking games with diffusion control

S Ankirchner, N Kazi-Tani, J Wendt… - Mathematics of …, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
