Nonparametric statistics for stochastic processes

by Denis Bosq

This book is devoted to the theory and applications of nonparametric functional estimation and prediction. The second edition is extensively revised and contains two new chapters. One discusses the surprising local time density estimator. The other gives a detailed account of the implementation of nonparametric methods and practical examples in economics, finance, and physics. A comparison with ARMA and ARCH methods shows the efficiency of nonparametric forecasting. The book assumes a knowledge of classical probability theory and statistics.
