Gaussian Estimation of Single‐Factor Continuous Time Models of The Term Structure of Interest Rates

Abstract: This article presents the first application in finance of recently developed methods for the Gaussian estimation of continuous time dynamic models. A range of one factor continuous time models of the short‐term interest rate are estimated using a discrete time model and compared to a recent discrete approximation used by Chan, Karolyi, Longstaff, and Sanders (1992a, hereafter CKLS). Whereas the volatility of short‐term rates is highly sensitive to the level of rates in the United States, it is not in the Unite… Show more

“…However, for most of diffusion processes, their transitional distributions are not explicitly known which prevents the use of the MLE. In these cases, several methods are available, which include the martingale estimating equation approach by Bibby and Sørensen (1995); the pseudo-Gaussian likelihood approach of Nowman (1997); the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator of Hansen and Scheinkman (1995); the Efficient Method of Moments of Gallant and Tauchen (1996)and the approximate likelihood approach of Aït-Sahalia (2002). Aït-Sahalia andMykland(2003 and2004) consider likelihood and the GMM based estimation when δ is random.…”

“…These data have been analyzed by many authors, including Aït-Sahalia (1996), Nowman (1997), and Yu and Phillips (2001), to mention a few. We do not pretend to give the definitive answer on the subject, but just to analyze the effect of the model selection via the LASSO in a real application.…”
