17 Diffusion Local Time Local time is defined (at least in one-dimension) as the occupation density at a location: L(a) = lim ɛ 0 T s=0 1(X s (a ɛ, a + ɛ))ds 2ɛ This gives a natural way to replace time averages by space averages. T 0 f (x t )dt = f (a)l(a)da R

25 The Likelihood Functional I[b] = W 2 (V (2π) V (0)) (V (X T ) V (X 0 )) 1 2 T 0 ( ) b 2 (X t ) + 2b (X t ) dt. Start from the log-likelihood. We write V (x) = x 0 b(u)du. Apply Ito s formula for V (x) to rewrite the stochastic integral as boundary terms plus correction. Replace Integrals along the trajectory by integral against local time L(a)da.
26 The Likelihood Functional I[b] = W 2 (V (2π) V (0)) (V (X T ) V (X 0 )) 1 2 2π 0 ( ) b 2 (a) + 2b (a) L(a)da. Start from the log-likelihood. We write V (x) = x 0 b(u)du. Apply Ito s formula for V (x) to rewrite the stochastic integral as boundary terms plus correction. Replace Integrals along the trajectory by integral against local time L(a)da.
27 The Likelihood Functional I[b] = W π 0 (V (2π) V (0)) [( ) ] b 2 (a) + 2b (a) L(a) χ x0,x T b(a) da. Start from the log-likelihood. We write V (x) = x 0 b(u)du. Apply Ito s formula for V (x) to rewrite the stochastic integral as boundary terms plus correction. Replace Integrals along the trajectory by integral against local time L(a)da.
28 If local time was smooth..... the log-likelihood I[b] would be bounded above on b L 2 (0, 2π). Taking the functional derivative yields the MLE b = L 2L
29 Infinite Dimensional Trouble I[b] = 2π 0 b(a) 2 L(a) + b (a)l(a)da For smooth L the functional is positive definite and bounded below. BUT L is not differentiable! Likelihood is easily shown to be almost surely unbounded.
30 Various Options Boundary 1 2 2π 0 ( ) b(a) 2 + b (a) L(a)da. 1 Use a non-likelihood based approach 2 Assume a parametric form b(x, θ) 3 Adopt some kind of penalised likelihood approach 4 Introduce a prior measure on drift functions b( ) and perform Bayesian estimation.
31 Gaussian Prior on drift functions Specify a prior Gaussian measure for zero-mean drift functions by Its Mean: b 0 H 2 per([0, 2π]) Its Precision (operator): A 0 on [0, 2π] with periodic boundary conditions. Thus a continuum Gaussian Markov random field. Smoothness imposed in A persists in the posterior
32 Choice of A A simple choice would take A = (= d 2 da 2 ). This is (approximately..) assuming independent increments of db(a) for different a, and would lead to continuous non-differentiable sample paths with probability 1. We mostly use instead A = 2, whereby sample paths have the smoothness of once integrated diffusions. Intuitively: ( ) b exp 2π 0 b(a) b 0 (a) 2 da
33 Finding the Posterior Multiply prior density by likelihood: ( ) exp exp ( 2π 0 2π 0 b(a) 2 da ) 1 [ ] (b(a) 2 + b (a))l(a)) + χ X0,X 2 T b(a) da + W term Complete the square to find that the posterior is Gaussian with Mean ( ) L ˆb = 2 L + χ X0,X T + W Posterior Covariance ( ) L
34 Finding the Posterior Multiply prior density by likelihood: ( ) exp exp ( 2π 0 2π 0 b(a) 2 da ) 1 [ ] (b(a) 2 + b (a))l(a)) + χ X0,X 2 T b(a) da + W term Complete the square to find that the posterior is Gaussian with Mean ( ) L ˆb = 2 L + χ X0,X T + W Posterior Covariance ( ) L
35 Towards the Posterior rigorously Standard PDE theory shows that the posterior mean is the weak solution of a PDE: Theorem Let L C([0, 2π]) be continuous and periodic and not identically zero. Then the PDE 2 u + Lu = 1 2 L + W + χ x0,x T (1) has a unique weak solution u H 2 per([0, 2π]).
36 Robustness of the Posterior Mean Theorem There exists a constant C(W, L ) > 0 such that for all admissible perturbed local times L the deviation of the perturbed posterior mean ũ from the unperturbed posterior mean u is bounded in the H 2 -norm: C > 0 L Λ : ũ u H 2 C(W, L ) L L L 2
37 Cleanup Observe absolute continuity of posterior and prior measure, 2 and 2 + L differ only in lower order differential parts. Compute the Radon-Nikodym derivative and identify with the likelihood. Simple estimate of local time from pointwise estimations combined with Hölder continuity of local time, so that ˆL L L 2 is small.
38 Estimating local time Choose N equal-sized bins. Count realisations falling in each bin. Width of bins adapts to M (i.e. t) (rather like bandwidth selection in kernel density estimation). Pointwise estimates converge to local time in probability. Use Hölder continuity of local time to obtain an L 2 error bound, using point values to construct piecewise constant approximants of L.

43 Numerical Analysis Fourth order elliptic PDE with non-regular right hand side. Use piecewise cubic polynomial base functions on each finite element. b(a) = N e=1 f =1 4 B e,f φ e,f (a) These span the approximation space H 2 h H2.

65 Summary Nonparametric drift estimation for diffusions on the circle can be performed rigorously for Gaussian prior (conjugate prior). Finite element implementation enables error control from discrete time high frequency samples all the way to numerically obtained posterior means. Applications in molecular dynamics and many other areas...
