摘要:The idea of volatility is fundamental to precise definition ofrisk and, hence, its estimation (or prediction) is a very important task infinance applications. We present some ideas on non-parametric estimationof volatility function in di.usion models. A nonlinear wavelet estimate ofthe volatility function is proposed and its performance is compared to threekernel estimators in both simulated and real data. Simulation is developed foreight volatility shapes and some interesting, but not unexpected, results arepresented. Some issues such as online estimation and prediction, robustness tooversmoothing and performance under sudden changes in pattern of volatilityare also discussed
