ESTIMATION PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRACTIONAL O-U PROCESS IN THE ERGODIC AND NON-ERGODIC CASES
ABSTRACT
We discuss the estimation problem on the drift parameter in the fractional O-U process, assuming that the Hurst index H is known. We deal with both the ergodic and non-ergodic cases, for which we compute the exact distribution of the MLE by paying attention to the influence of H and the sampling span M. We shall also derive the asymptotic distribution of the MLE as M becomes large. On the contrary, the exact computation of the LSE is much harder, for which we suggest an approximation on the basis of the Fredholm integral equation.
