We construct an estimator of the unknown drift parameter θ ∈ R in the linear modelwhere B H 1 and B H 2 are two independent fractional Brownian motions with Hurst indices H1 and H2 satisfying the condition 1 2 ≤ H1 < H2 < 1. Actually, we reduce the problem to the solution of the integral Fredholm equation of the 2nd kind with a specific weakly singular kernel depending on two power exponents. It is proved that the kernel can be presented as the product of a bounded continuous multiplier and weak singular one, and this representation allows us to prove the compactness of the corresponding integral operator. This, in turn, allows us to establish an existence-uniqueness result for the sequence of the equations on the increasing intervals, to construct accordingly a sequence of statistical estimators, and to establish asymptotic consistency.Keywords Fractional Brownian motion, maximum likelihood estimator, integral equation with weakly singular kernel, compact operator, asymptotic consistency 2010 MSC 60G22, 62F10, 62F12, 62G12
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
