文摘We study the problem of parameter estimation for mean-reverting α-stable motion, dXt = （a0 - θ0Xt）dt ＋ dZt, observed at discrete time instants. A least squares estimator is obtained and its asymptotics is discussed in the singular case （a0, θ0） = （0, 0）. If a0 = 0, then the mean-reverting α-stable motion becomes Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and is studied in [7] in the ergodic case θ0 〉 0. For the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, asymptotics of the least squares estimators for the singular case （θ0 = 0） and for ergodic case （θ0 〉 0） are completely different.
