Parameter estimation based on discrete observations of fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process of the second kind

Fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process of the second kind $(\text{fOU}_{2})$ is solution of the Langevin equation $\mathrm{d}X_t = -θX_t\,\mathrm{d}t+\mathrm{d}Y_t^{(1)}, \ θ>0$ with Gaussian driving noise $Y_t^{(1)} := \int^t_0 e^{-s} \,\mathrm{d}B_{a_s}$, where $a_t= H e^{\frac{t}{H}}$ and $B$ is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H \in (0,1)$. In this article, we consider the case $H>\frac{1}{2}$. Then using the ergodicity of $\text{fOU}_{2}$ process, we construct consistent estimators of drift parameter $θ$ based on discrete observations in two possible cases: $(i)$ the Hurst parameter $H$ is known and $(ii)$ the Hurst parameter $H$ is unknown. Moreover, using Malliavin calculus technique, we prove central limit theorems for our estimators which is valid for the whole range $H \in (\frac{1}{2},1)$.
