yuima (version 1.0.81)

adaBayes: Adaptive Bayes estimator for the parameters in sde model

Description

Adaptive Bayes estimator for the parameters in a specific type of sde.

Usage

adaBayes(yuima, start, prior, lower, upper, method = "nomcmc")

Arguments

yuima

a 'yuima' object.

start

initial suggestion for parameter values

prior

a list of prior distributions for the parameters [function].

lower

a named list for specifying lower bounds of parameters

upper

a named list for specifying upper bounds of parameters

method

nomcmc requires package cubature

Value

• vector
  a vector of the paramter estimate

Details

Calculate the values of the parameters theta1 and theta2. When the quasi-likelihood is too large for the given data, the integral in the Bayes estimator may diverge. For such a case, offset values for the parameters can be specified not to diverge.

Examples

set.seed(123)

ymodel <- setModel(drift="(-1)*theta2*x", diffusion="sqrt(theta1^2+1)",
                   time.variable="t", state.variable="x", solve.variable="x")
n <- 500
h <- 1/((n)^(2/3))
ysamp <- setSampling(Terminal=(n)^(1/3), n=n) 
yuima <- setYuima(model=ymodel, sampling=ysamp)
param.true <- list(theta2=0.3, theta1=0.5)
yuima <- simulate(yuima, xinit=1, true.parameter=param.true)

prior.theta1 <- function(theta2)
  1*(theta2 > 0 & theta2 < 1)

prior.theta2 <- function(theta1)
  1*(theta1 > 0 & theta1 < 1)

prior <- list(theta2=list(measure.type="code",df="dunif(z,0,1)"), 
theta1=list(measure.type="code",df="dunif(z,0,1)"))

param.init <- list(theta2=0.35,theta1=0.52)

lower = c(0,0)
upper=c(1,1)

bayes1 <- adaBayes(yuima, start=param.init, prior=prior, method="nomcmc")

mle1 <- qmle(yuima, start=param.init, lower=list(theta1=0,theta2=0), 
     	upper=list(theta1=1,theta2=1), method="L-BFGS-B")
