Statistical Inference for Ergodic Point Processes and Application to Limit Order Book (1512.01899v3)

Abstract: We construct a general procedure for the Quasi Likelihood Analysis applied to a multivariate point process on the real half line in an ergodic framework. More precisely, we assume that the stochastic intensity of the underlying model belongs to a family of processes indexed by a finite dimensional parameter. When a particular family of laws of large numbers applies to those processes, we establish the consistency, the asymptotic normality and the convergence of moments of both the Quasi Maximum Likelihood estimator and the Quasi Bayesian estimator. In addition, we illustrate our main results by showing how they can be applied to various Limit Order Book models existing in the literature. In particular, we address the fundamental cases of Markovian models and exponential Hawkes process-based models.
