Abstract:
The Edgeworth expansion of the log-likelihood ratio by the maximum likelihood method in the Vasicek model is studied in this paper. Our method provides an improvement on the accuracy of reverting speed estimation under finite time data. The error bound is also provided. The Edgeworth expansion for the distribution is helping with this improvement. Hence, the reverting speed of interest rates can achieve a better simulation result based on such modifications.
