Topicbild

statistical inference for inhomogeneous diffusion processes

  • parameter estimation (asymptotic theory for continuous-time observations)
  • change point testing for drift parameters

stochastic modeling of commodity prices

  • modeling forward curves and spot prices
  • time-dependent structure of drift and volatility (inhomogeneous diffusions)
  • describing common evolution of different markets and commodities
  • Monte Carlo simulation
  • application: energy asset and option valuation, risk management
