Nonparametric estimation and testing time-homogeneity for processes with independent increments

We consider a nonparametric estimation problem for the Lévy measure of time-inhomogeneous process with independent increments. We derive the functional asymptotic normality and efficiency, in an ℓ∞ℓ∞-space, of generalized Nelson–Aalen estimators. Also we propose some asymptotically distribution free tests for time-homogeneity of the Lévy measure. Our result is a fruit of the empirical process theory and the martingale theory.
