Abstract

In this paper, we consider the robust estimation for a certain class of diffusion processes including the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process based on discrete observations. As a robust estimator, we consider the minimum density power divergence estimator (MDPDE) proposed by Basu et al. (Biometrika 85:549-559, 1998). It is shown that the MDPDE is consistent and asymptotically normal. A simulation study demonstrates the strong robustness of the MDPDE.
