Telling from Discrete Data Whether the Underlying Continuous-Time Model Is a Diffusion

Can discretely sampled financial data help us decide which continuous-time models are sensible? Diffusion processes are characterized by the continuity of their sample paths. This cannot be verified ...

Simple Statistical Models for Discrete Panel Data Developed and Applied to Test the Hypothesis of True State Dependence against the Hypothesis of Spurious State Dependence

This paper develops statistical models for the analysis of discrete longitudinal data. Many interesting stochastic processes are generated by a model in which discrete events arise from a ...

Are Space and Time Discrete or Continuous?

Split a mile in half, you get half a mile. Split the half mile, you get a quarter, and on and on, until you’ve carved out a length far smaller than the diameter of an atom. Can this slicing continue ...
