On the identification of random variables from quantized observations

Probability 2016-12-07 v2

Abstract

We prove that the scale and shift parameters of a family of probability laws can be identified from quantized values, under appropriate assumptions. As an application, we show the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator for the parameters of a quantized Gaussian autoregressive process.
