Abstract

Consider a stochastic process {X t , 0 ≤ tT} governed by a stochastic differential equation given by where $${{W_t^H, 0 leq t leq T}}$$ is a standard fractional Brownian motion with known Hurst parameter $${Hin (1/2,1)}$$ and the function S(.) is an unknown function. Suppose the process {X t , 0 ≤ tT} is observed over the interval [0, T]. We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of trend function S t = S(x t ) by a kernel type estimatorand study the asymptotic behaviour of the estimator as $${epsilon rightarrow 0}$$ . Here x t is the solution of the differential equation given above when $${epsilon =0}$$ .
