Fitting Stochastic Processes

August 7th, 2004, 4:02 pm

Just wondering if there's a book about fitting stochastic processes to data. I imagine it as sort of an econometrics book but with emphasis (or at least a few chapters) on the processess that are important in mathematical finance. For example, one that considers a Levy jump-diffusion process with parameters p1,...,pN and then discusses some estimation techniques and best practices. Is there anything out there that comes close?Thanks!

Thanks so much, I didn't know about them. The price is steep for my budget, which one is the most practical?
