Abstract
Abstract Asymptotic expansion is presented for an estimator of the Hurst coefficient of a fractional Brownian motion. We first derive the expansion formula of the principal term of the error of the estimator using a recently developed theory of asymptotic expansion of the distribution of Wiener functionals, and utilize the perturbation method on the obtained formula in order to calculate the expansion of the estimator. We also discuss some second-order modifications of the estimator. Numerical results show that the asymptotic expansion attains higher accuracy than the normal approximation.
期刊介绍:
Statistical Inference for Stochastic Processes aims to publish high quality papers devoted to inference in either discrete or continuous time stochastic processes. This includes topics such as ARMA processes, GARCH processes and other time series models, as well as diffusion type processes, point processes, random fields and Markov processes. Papers related to spatial models and empirical processes are also within the scope of the journal. Special focus is placed on methodological advances and sound theoretical results, but submissions that expose potential applications of the developed theory to finance, insurance, economics, biology, physics and engineering are very much encouraged.
