Abstract

Let T>0,α>12T>0,\alpha>\frac12. In the present paper we consider the α\alpha-Brownian bridge defined as dXt=αXtTtdt+dWt, 0t<TdX_t=-\alpha\frac{X_t}{T-t}dt+dW_t,~ 0\leq t< T, where WW is a standard Brownian motion. We investigate the optimal rate of convergence to normality of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for the parameter α \alpha based on the continuous observation {Xs,0st}\{X_s,0\leq s\leq t\} as tTt\uparrow T. We prove that an optimal rate of Kolmogorov distance for central limit theorem on the MLE is given by 1log(Tt)\frac{1}{\sqrt{|\log(T-t)|}}, as tTt\uparrow T. First we compute an upper bound and then find a lower bound with the same speed using Corollary 1 and Corollary 2 of \cite{kp-JVA}, respectively.
