Maximum Likelihood Estimation for a Markov-Modulated Jump-Diffusion Model
We propose a method for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of a Markov-Modulated Jump-Diffusion Model (MMJDM) when the data is a discrete time sample of the diffusion process, the jumps follow a Laplace distribution, and the parameters of the diffusion are controlled by a Markov Jump Process (MJP). The data can be viewed as incomplete observation of a model with a tractable likelihood function. Therefore we use the EM-algorithm to obtain MLEs of the parameters. We validate our method with simulated data. The motivation for obtaining estimates of this model is that stock prices have distinct drift and volatility at distinct periods of time. The assumption is that these phases are modulated by macroeconomic environments whose changes are given by discontinuities or jumps in prices. This model improves on the stock prices representation of classical models such as the model of Black and Scholes or Merton's Jump-Diffusion Model (JDM). We fit the model to the stock prices of Amazon and Netflix during a 15-years period and use our method to estimate the MLEs.

JUMP-Means: Small-Variance Asymptotics for Markov Jump Processes
Markov jump processes (MJPs) are used to model a wide range of phenomena from disease progression to RNA path folding. However, maximum likelihood estimation of parametric models leads to degenerate trajectories and infe…
Identification of jump Markov linear models using particle filters
Jump Markov linear models consists of a finite number of linear state space models and a discrete variable encoding the jumps (or switches) between the different linear models. Identifying jump Markov linear models makes…
State Space ModelsMulti-dimensional queue-reactive model and signal-driven models: a unified framework
We present a Markovian market model driven by a hidden Brownian efficient price. In particular, we extend the queue-reactive model, making its dynamics dependent on the efficient price. Our study focuses on two sub-model…
Utility maximization in pure-jump models driven by marked point processes and nonlinear wealth dynamics
We explore martingale and convex duality techniques to study optimal investment strategies that maximize expected risk-averse utility from consumption and terminal wealth. We consider a market model with jumps driven by …

Continuous-time Markov chains are used to model systems in which transitions between states as well as the time the system spends in each state are random. Many computational problems related to such chains have been so…
