Treffer: Exact adaptive pointwise drift estimation for multidimensional ergodic diffusions.

The problem of pointwise adaptive estimation of the drift coefficient of a multivariate diffusion process is investigated. We propose an estimator which is sharp adaptive on scales of Sobolev smoothness classes. The analysis of the exact risk asymptotics allows to identify the impact of the dimension and other influencing values-such as the geometry of the diffusion coefficient-of the prototypical drift estimation problem for a large class of multidimensional diffusion processes. We further sketch generalizations of our results to arbitrary diffusions satisfying suitable Bernstein-type inequalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
