short talk (30 mins) - NOTE TIME CHANGE

Financial data are usually modelled as continuous, often involving geometric Brownian motion with drift, leverage and possibly jump components. A more practical description enlightens the discrete nature of the financial observations, as integer multiples of a fixed quantity, the ticksize, the monetary value associated with a single change during the evolution of the price. The class of integer-valued Lévy processes is used to model the observations, yielding desirable flexibility in the choice of the marginal distribution for a fixed time interval. Time deformation is achieved including stochastic volatility as Non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenebeck processes. Bayesian inference is performed on application to real stock market indices.
