IDENTIFYING RESTRICTIONS FOR FINITE PARAMETER CONTINUOUS TIME MODELS WITH DISCRETE TIME DATA
离散观测下有限参数连续时间模型的识别限制
This paper revisits the question of parameter identification when a linear continuous time model is sampled only at equispaced points in time. Following the framework and assumptions of Phillips (1973), we consider models characterized by first-order, linear systems of stochastic differential equations and use a priori restrictions on the model parameters as identifying restrictions. A practical rank condition is derived to test whether any particular collection of at least $\left\lfloor {n/2} \right\rfloor$…
