Asymptotic analysis of estimators of ergodic stochastic differential equations (2411.03623v1)

Abstract: The paper studies asymptotic properties of estimators of multidimensional stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions from high-frequency discrete data. Consistency and central limit properties of a class of estimators of the diffusion parameter and an approximate maximum likelihood estimator of the drift parameter based on a discretized likelihood function have been established in a suitable scaling regime involving the time-gap between the observations and the overall time span. Our framework is more general than that typically considered in the literature and, thus, has the potential to be applicable to a wider range of stochastic models.
