Abstract

We consider parameter estimation problems for the non-ergodic fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process defined as $% dX_{t}=\theta X_{t}dt+dB_{t}^{H},\ t\geq 0$, with an unknown parameter $% \theta >0$, where $B^{H}$ is a fractional Brownian motion of Hurst index $% H\in (\frac{1}{2},1)$. We assume that the process $\{X_{t},t\geq 0\}$ is observed at discrete time instants $t_{1}=\Delta _{n},\ldots ,t_{n}=n\Delta _{n}$. We construct two estimators $\hat{\theta}_{n}$ and $\check{\theta}_{n} $ of $\theta $ which are strongly consistent, namely, $\hat{\theta}_{n}$ and $\check{\theta}_{n}$ converge to $\theta $ almost surely as $n\rightarrow \infty $. We also prove that $\sqrt{n\Delta _{n}}(\hat{\theta}_{n}-\theta )$ and $\sqrt{n\Delta _{n}}(\check{\theta}_{n}-\theta )$ are tight.

Dans ce travail, nous étudions des problèmes d'estimation paramétriques relatifs au processus d'Ornstein-Uhlenbeck fractionaire non-ergodique défini par $dX_{t} = \theta X_{t}dt + dB^{H}_{t}, t\geq 0$, où $\theta>0$ est un paramétre et $B^{H}$ est un mouvement Brownien fractionaire d'indice de Hurst $H\in]1/2 , 1[$. Le processus $\{X_{t}, t\geq 0\}$ a été observé (de façon réguliére) aux instants $t_1=\Delta_n,\ldots,t_n=n\Delta_n$, c'est-à-dire pour tout $i\in\{0,\cdots,n\}$, $t_{i} = i\Delta_{n}$. Nous avons construit deux estimateurs $\hat{\theta}_{n}$ et $\check{\theta}_{n}$ de $\theta$ fortement consistants, c'est-à-dire, $\hat{\theta}_{n}$ et $\check{\theta}_{n}$ convergent presque surement vers $\theta$ quand $n\rightarrow\infty$. Nous avons aussi prouvé que $\sqrt{n\Delta_n}(\hat{\theta}_{n}-\theta)$ et $\sqrt{n\Delta_n}(\check{\theta}_{n}-\theta)$ sont tendus.
