Parameter estimation for Gaussian processes with application to the model with two independent fractional Brownian motions (1808.08417v1)

Abstract: The purpose of the article is twofold. Firstly, we review some recent results on the maximum likelihood estimation in the regression model of the form $X_t = \theta G(t) + B_t$, where $B$ is a Gaussian process, $G(t)$ is a known function, and $\theta$ is an unknown drift parameter. The estimation techniques for the cases of discrete-time and continuous-time observations are presented. As examples, models with fractional Brownian motion, mixed fractional Brownian motion, and sub-fractional Brownian motion are considered. Secondly, we study in detail the model with two independent fractional Brownian motions and apply the general results mentioned above to this model.
