Nonparametric volatility estimation in scalar diffusions: Optimality across observation frequencies
The nonparametric volatility estimation problem of a scalar diffusion process observed at equidistant time points is addressed. Using the spectral representation of the volatility in terms of the invariant density and an eigenpair of the infinitesimal generator the first known estimator that attains the minimax optimal convergence rates for both …
