Parameter Estimation for the Mixed Fractional Merton Jump Diffusion Model with EM Algorithm
混合分数 Merton 跳跃扩散模型的 EM 参数估计
This paper proposes an Expectation--Maximization algorithm with Metropolis--Hastings sampling for parameter estimation in a Mixed Fractional Merton Jump Diffusion model. The model combines fractional Brownian motion to capture long-range dependence with a compound Poisson jump process to describe abrupt movements in financial returns. The latent jump process is inferred during the E-step using Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, while the M-step updates the model parameters…
