An efficient Wasserstein-distance approach for reconstructing jump-diffusion processes using parameterized neural networks

Mingtao Xia, Xiangting Li, Qijing Shen +1

We analyze the Wasserstein distance (-distance) between two probability distributions associated with two multidimensional jump-diffusion processes. Specifically, we analyze a t…
