This paper presents some limit theorems for certain functionals of moving averages of semimartingales plus noise which are observed at high frequency. Our method generalizes the pre-averaging approach (see [Bernoulli 15 (2009) 634--658,…

We provide a short proof that the Wasserstein distance between the empirical measure of a n-sample and the estimated measure is of order n^-(1/d), if the measure has a lower and upper bounded density on the d-dimensional flat torus.
