An Inverse Problem for Infinitely Divisible Moving Average Random Fields (1705.09542v1)

Abstract: Given a low frequency sample of an infinitely divisible moving average random field ${\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} f(x-t)\Lambda(dx); \ t \in \mathbb{R}^d }$ with a known simple function $f$, we study the problem of nonparametric estimation of the L\'{e}vy characteristics of the independently scattered random measure $\Lambda$. We provide three methods, a simple plug-in approach, a method based on Fourier transforms and an approach involving decompositions with respect to $L^2$-orthonormal bases, which allow to estimate the L\'{e}vy density of $\Lambda$. For these methods, the bounds for the $L^2$-error are given. Their numerical performance is compared in a simulation study.
