Jump-Diffusion Calibration using Differential Evolution

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The estimation of a jump-diffusion model via Differential Evolution is presented. Finding the maximum likelihood estimator for such processes is a tedious task due to the multimodality of the likelihood function. The performance of the Differential Evolution algorithm is compared to standard optimization techniques.
