In particular, the difference of first order integratedprocesses, or I(1) processes, are considered. These are relevant for stockreturns and consequently correlations of are important in e.g. portfoliooptimization. Different interpolation methods, as well as exact methods,are investigated. An unbiased method is proposed for cases where thereturn process and the process governing the times of trade are dependent.
