Abstract

We consider a stochastic differential equation and its Euler-Maruyama (EM) scheme, under some appropriate conditions, they both admit a unique invariant measure, denoted by π\pi and πη\pi_\eta respectively (η\eta is the step size of the EM scheme). We construct an empirical measure Πη\Pi_\eta of the EM scheme as a statistic of πη\pi_\eta, and use Stein's method developed in \citet{FSX19} to prove a central limit theorem of Πη\Pi_\eta. The proof of the self-normalized Cram\'er-type moderate deviation (SNCMD) is based on a standard decomposition on Markov chain, splitting η1/2(Πη(.)π(.))\eta^{-1/2}(\Pi_\eta(.)-\pi(.)) into a martingale difference series sum \mclHη\mcl H_\eta and a negligible remainder \mclRη\mcl R_\eta. We handle \mclHη\mcl H_\eta by the time-change technique for martingale, while prove that \mclRη\mcl R_\eta is exponentially negligible by concentration inequalities, which have their independent interest. Moreover, we show that SNCMD holds for x=o(η1/6)x = o(\eta^{-1/6}), which has the same order as that of the classical result in \citet{shao1999cramer,JSW03}.
