%X In this
paper, we propose a Gasser-M¨šller type spot volatility estimator (abbreviated
as GM type estimator) for diffusion process, which is weighted by integrals, it
is different from the kernel spot volatility estimator discussed by Kristensen
(2010). Under more general conditions, the asymptotic unbiasedness and the
asymptotic normality of the GM type estimator are derived. The simulation
results show that the GM type spot volatility estimator has good estimation
effect, and its mean square error tends to be less than that of the kernel spot
volatility estimator discussed by Kristensen (2010), so it provides a selection
method for estimating the spot volatility in high frequency data environment.
