Abstract

The general reverse diffusion equations are derived. They are applied to the problem of transition density estimation of diffusion processes between two fixed states. For this problem it is shown that density estimation based on forward-reverse representations allows for achieving essentially better results in comparison with usual kernel or projection estimation based on forward representations only.
