“…In this paper, however, we adopt a different perspective. Instead of transforming the price process S , we seek to mitigate the effect of noise by combining S with a different time series which enjoys the same variance as S. To this end, we will expand on Mirone (2017) and specifically focus on a futures, F , written on the series of interest, S. Suppose that in the market there are two additional assets: a risk-free asset, B, whose dynamics is given by dB t = r t dt, where r is the short rate process, and a futures written on S t with maturity T greater than t. We denote the latent efficient log futures price by F t and analogously denote by F t the observed futures price. The noise contaminating the futures is denoted by ε…”
