LAN property for stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion of Hurst parameter $H\in(1/4,1/2)$

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the drift parameter of solution to the stochastic differential equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter less than $1/2$ under complete observation. We derive a formula for the likelihood ratio and prove local asymptotic normality when $H \in (1/4,1/2)$. Our result shows that the convergence rate is $T^{-1/2}$ for the parameters satisfying a certain equation and $T^{-(1-H)}$ for the others.
