Statistical inference for misspecified ergodic L\'evy driven stochastic differential equation models
Abstract
This paper deals with the estimation problem of misspecified ergodic L\'evy driven stochastic differential equation models based on high-frequency samples. We utilize the widely applicable and tractable Gaussian quasi-likelihood approach which focuses on (conditional) mean and variance structure. It is shown that the corresponding Gaussian quasi-likelihood estimators of drift and scale parameters satisfy tail probability estimates and asymptotic normality at the same rate as correctly specified case. In this process, extended Poisson equation for time-homogeneous Feller Markov processes plays an important role to handle misspecification effect. Our result confirms the practical usefulness of the Gaussian quasi-likelihood approach for SDE models, more firmly.
