ABSTRACT

The prediction-based estimating functions generalize the martingale estimating functions. They are useful for statistical inference concerning non-Markovian stochastic process models, where there are typically no easily calculated martingales that can be used to construct a class of martingale estimating functions. Applications to statistical inference for integrated diffusions, stochastic delay differential equations and diffusion compartment models will be presented.
