Abstract

The paper develops new methods of nonparametric estimation of a compound Poisson process. Our key estimator for the compounding (jump) measure is based on series decomposition of functionals of a measure and relies on the steepest descent technique. Our simulation studies for various examples of such measures demonstrate flexibility of our methods. They are particularly suited for discrete jump distributions, not necessarily concentrated on a grid nor on the positive or negative semi-axis. Our estimators also applicable for continuous jump distributions with an additional smoothing step.
