5 results for “QMLE”
problem Why policy gradients outperform action-value methods in complex action spaces.
method QMLE framework for action-value methods based on three principles.
result QMLE performs comparably to policy gradient methods in complex action spaces.
This paper shows how to carry out efficient asymptotic variance reduction when estimating volatility in the presence of stochastic volatility and microstructure noise with the realized kernels (RK) from [Barndorff-Nielsen et al., 2008] and the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) studied in [Xiu, 2010]. To obtain …
An efficient LDP protocol for QMLE with improved practicality and theoretical guarantees.
problem Difficult implementation of existing LDP QMLE for large-scale surveys.
method Developed an alternative LDP protocol without long waiting time, high communication cost, and derivative boundedness assumptions.
result Sufficient conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality of the protocol.
New conditions for ACD model consistency and normality.
problem Random number of durations in ACD model.
method Additional sufficient conditions for consistency and normality of QMLE.
result Finite mean of durations is required for consistency and normality.
Develops a goodness-of-fit test for self-exciting processes.
problem Quantifying how well generative models capture self-exciting point processes.
method Connects to Quasi-maximum-likelihood estimator (QMLE) theory and develops a non-parametric self-normalizing statistic, the Generalized Score (GS) statistics.
result Validates the proposed GS test's good performance through numerical simulation and real-data experiments.
