Consistent Estimation in Partially Observed Random Walks
部分观测随机游走中的一致估计
If a discrete-time random walk, consisting of the sum of independent increments from an unknown underlying distribution, is observed at every time instant then it is clear that the underlying distribution can be consistently estimated. If, however, we are restricted to observing only a subset of the times, and if this subset is too sparse, then a central limit effect takes over and only two moments can be consistently estimated. We show that divergence of the sum of the…
