Abstract

We consider a diffusion process X which is observed at times i/nfor i = 0,1,...,n, each observation being subject to a measurementerror. All errors are independent and centered Gaussian with knownvariance pn . There is an unknown parameter to estimate within thediffusion coefficient. In this second paper weconstruct estimators which are asymptotically optimal when theprocess X is a Gaussian martingale, and we conjecture that they arealso optimal in the general case.
