In this paper we review some recent work on limit results on realised power variation, that is, sums of powers of absolute increments of various semimartingales. A special case of this analysis is realised variance and its probability limit, quadratic variation. Such quantities often appear in...

This article shows that realized power variation and its extension, realizedbipower variation, which we introduce here, are somewhat robust to rarejumps. We demonstrate that in special cases, realized bipower variation estimates integrated variance in stochastic volatility models, thus providing...
