Abstract

In this paper we present nonparametric estimators for coefficients in stochastic differential equation if the data are described by independent, identically distributed random variables. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear ill-posed operator equation with a deterministic forward operator described by the Fokker-Planck equation. We derive convergence rates of the risk for penalized maximum likelihood estimators with convex penalty terms and for Newton-type methods. The assumptions of our general convergence results are verified for estimation of the drift coefficient. The advantages of log-likelihood compared to quadratic data fidelity terms are demonstrated in Monte-Carlo simulations.
