Abstract:

The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (O-U) process, as an important diffusion process, plays a significant role in fields such as statistics, finance, and physics. In this paper, the sharp large deviations of the maximum likelihood estimation for the O-U process with linear drift in the explosive cases are studied by change of measure, and a refined characterization of the tail probability is obtained. As an application, the large deviation principle is obtained. The results demonstrate that the maximum likelihood estimations of the O-U process with and without linear drift in the explosive cases have the same large deviations.

Key words: Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, maximum likelihood estimation, sharp large deviations
