Estimation of the bias parameter of the Skew Random Walk and application to the Skew Brownian motion
Résumé
We study the asymptotic property of simple estimator of the parameter of a Skew
Brownian Motion when one observes its positions on a fixed grid --- or
equivalently of a simple random walk with a bias at zero. This estimator,
nothing more than the Maximum Likelihood Estimator, is based only on the
number of passages of the random walk at zero. It is very simple to
set up, is consistent and satisfies the local asymptotic mixed normality.
We believe that this simplified framework is helpful to understand the
asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood of the Skew Brownian Motion observed at
discrete times which is studied in a companion paper.
