A solution to a linear integral equation with an application to statistics of infinitely divisible moving averages (1807.02003v4)

Abstract: For a stationary moving average random field, a non-parametric low frequency estimator of the L\'evy density of its infinitely divisible independently scattered integrator measure is given. The plug-in estimate is based on the solution $w$ of the linear integral equation $v(x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} g(s) w(h(s)x)ds$, where $g,h:\mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ are given measurable functions and $v$ is a (weighted) $L^2$-function on $\mathbb{R}$. We investigate conditions for the existence and uniqueness of this solution and give $L^2$-error bounds for the resulting estimates. An application to pure jump moving averages and a simulation study round off the paper.
