Quantile estimation in fractional Levy Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes

Abstract

First we study estimation of the drift parameter in the fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process whose marginal distribution is Student t-distribution. We obtain Spearman’s correlation based estimator, quantile estimator and Brownian excursion based estimator of the drift parameter. Then we study method of moments estimator and quantile estimator in fractional inverse Gaussian and fractional gamma Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes.
