The continuous-time limit of score-driven volatility models
得分驱动波动率模型的连续时间极限
We provide general conditions under which a class of discrete-time volatility models driven by the score of the conditional density converges in distribution to a stochastic differential equation as the interval between observations goes to zero. We show that the form of the diffusion limit depends on: (i) the link function, (ii) the conditional second moment of the score, (iii) the normalization of the score. Interestingly, the properties of the stochastic differential…
