Abstract:
Stable convergence in law has many applications in showing the asymptotic behaviour of estimators of parameters of stochastic processes.
Let $X$ be a diffusion which satisfies a stochastic differential equation of the form:
$dX_t=mu(X_t,theta)dt+sigma_0*nu(X_t)dW_t$,
where drift parameter $theta$ is unknown and diffusion coefficient parameter $sigma_0$ is known.
We have discrete observations $(X_{t_i},0<= i<= n)$ along fixed time interval $[0,T]$. Let bar($theta_n$) be approximate maximum likelihood estimator of drift parameter obtained from discrete observations and let hat($theta$) be maximum likelihood estimator obtained from continuous observations $(X_t,0<= t<= T)$ along fixed time interval $[0,T]$. We proved that bar($theta_n$), when $Delta_n =max_{1<=i<= n}(t_i-t_{i-1})$ tends to zero, is locally asymptotic mixed normal, with covariance matrix which depends on MLE hat($theta$) and on path $(X_t,0<= t<= T)$.
