Parameter estimation for threshold Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes from discrete observations

Statistics Theory 2020-11-24 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

Assuming that a threshold Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is observed at discrete time instants, we propose generalized moment estimators to estimate the parameters. Our theoretical basis is the celebrated ergodic theorem. To use this theorem we need to find the explicit form of the invariant measure. With the sampling time step arbitrarily fixed, we prove the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of our estimators as the sample size tends to infinity.
