Piecewise-deterministic Markov processes form a general class of non-diffusion stochastic models that involve both deterministic trajectories and random jumps at random times. In this paper, we state a new characterization of the jump rate…

Given a finite honest time, we first show that the associated Az\'ema optional supermartingale can be expressed as the drawdown and the relative drawdown of some local optional supermartingales with continuous running supremum. The relative…

This note extends some results of Nishiyama [Ann. Probab. 28 (2000) 685--712]. A maximal inequality for stochastic integrals with respect to integer-valued random measures which may have infinitely many jumps on compact time intervals is…

In quantitative finance, we often model asset prices as semimartingales, with drift, diffusion and jump components. The jump activity index measures the strength of the jumps at high frequencies, and is of interest both in model selection…

Piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) offer a powerful stochastic modeling framework that combines deterministic trajectories with random perturbations at random times. Estimating their local characteristics (particularly the…

In this paper we show that if large jumps of an It\^o-semimartingale $X$ have a finite $p$-moment, $p>0$, the radial part of its drift is dominated by $-|X|^\kappa$ for some $\kappa\geq -1$, and the balance condition $p+\kappa>1$ holds…

Motivated by entropic optimal transport, time reversal of Markov jump processes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is investigated. Relying on an abstract integration by parts formula for the carr\'e du champ of a Markov process recently obtained by…

A single jump filtration $({\mathscr{F}}_t)_{t\in \mathbb{R}_+}$ generated by a random variable $\gamma$ with values in $\overline{\mathbb{R}}_+$ on a probability space $(\Omega ,{\mathscr{F}},\mathsf{P})$ is defined as follows: a set $A\in…

We establish a local martingale $M$ associate with $f(X,Y)$ under some restrictions on $f$, where $Y$ is a process of bounded variation (on compact intervals) and either $X$ is a jump diffusion (a special case being a L\'evy process) or $X$…

We develop an adaptive jump test for discretely observed high-frequency semimartingales by combining the A"it-Sahalia--Jacod ratio statistic (A"it-Sahalia and Jacod, 2009) and the Lee--Mykland extreme-return statistic (Lee and Mykland,…

In this paper we consider two semimartingales driven by diffusions and jumps. We allow both for finite activity and for infinite activity jump components. Given discrete observations we disentangle the {\it integrated covariation} (the…

This paper is concerned with asymptotic behavior of a variety of functionals of increments of continuous semimartingales. Sampling times are assumed to follow a rather general discretization scheme. If an underlying semimartingale is…

We characterize the class of exchangeable Feller processes evolving on partitions with boundedly many blocks. In continuous-time, the jump measure decomposes into two parts: a $\sigma$-finite measure on stochastic matrices and a collection…

Pure-jump processes have been increasingly popular in modeling high-frequency financial data, partially due to their versatility and flexibility. In the meantime, several statistical tests have been proposed in the literature to check the…

In the recent paper \cite{DESZ}, the notion of $\mathscr{Y}^{g,\xi}$-submartingale processes has been introduced. Within a jump-diffusion model, we prove here that a process $X$ which satisfies the simultaneous…

This paper contributes to the study of relative martingales. Specifically, for a closed random set $H$, they are processes null on $H$ which decompose as $M=m+v$, where $m$ is a c\`adl\`ag uniformly integrable martingale and, $v$ is a…

New proofs are given of the existence of the compensator (or dual predictable projection) of a locally integrable c\'adl\'ag adapted process of finite variation and of the existence of the quadratic variation process for a c\'adl\'ag local…

Pure-jump L\'evy processes are popular classes of stochastic processes which have found many applications in finance, statistics or machine learning. In this paper, we propose a novel family of self-decomposable L\'evy processes where one…

In this paper, we consider a modified version of a well-known submartingale condition fortheweak convergence of probabilitymeasures, adapted to the semi-Markov case. In this setting, it is convenient to work with an embedded Markov chain…

For any discrete-time $P$--local martingale $S$ there exists a probability measure $Q \sim P$ such that $S$ is a $Q$--martingale. A new proof for this result is provided. The core idea relies on an appropriate modification of an argument by…
