Maximum likelihood estimation of drift and diffusion functions

  • 1. Westfaelische Wilhelms-Universitaet Muenster, D-48149 Muenster (Germany)

Description

The maximum likelihood approach is adapted to the problem of estimation of drift and diffusion functions of stochastic processes from measured time series. We reconcile a previously devised iterative procedure [D. Kleinhans, R. Friedrich, A. Nawroth, J. Peinke, Phys. Lett. A 346 (2005) 42] and put the application of the method on a firm theoretical basis
