Summary/Abstract: The article presents a method for parametric estimation of instantaneous variance in the case of non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic volatility proces by means of the iterated filtering and realized variance estimator. The method is applied to realized variance of S&P500 index data. Empirical application is accompanied with simulation study to examine performance of the estimation technique.
