Abstract

Stochastic models are increasingly used in financial risk estimation to predict market movements and assess potential risks. We employ a multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to model financial data. Identifiability of the parameters is examined through theoretical analysis. The model's convergence properties were analysed, revealing that under certain conditions, the estimates converge to true parameter values with increasing sample size. Our findings support the use of stochastic models for risk estimation in Rwanda and highlight the importance of understanding model identifiability. Further research should focus on validating these models using historical data from Rwanda and exploring their application in policy-making.
