Abstract

Our goal is to estimate the characteristic exponent of the input to a L\'evy-driven storage system from a sample of equispaced workload observations. The estimator relies on an approximate moment equation associated with the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the workload at exponentially distributed sampling times. The estimator is pointwise consistent for any observation grid. Moreover, a high frequency sampling scheme yields asymptotically normal estimation errors for a class of input processes. A resampling scheme that uses the available information in a more efficient manner is suggested and assessed via simulation experiments.
