Abstract

In this paper, we apply a robust form of filtering equations for a continuous time hidden Markov model to estimate the volatility of a risky asset. The robust form of the filters we consider offers substantial improvement over classical filtering by completely eliminating stochastic integrations completely. A simulation study is included to indicate the benefits.
