Abstract

Brownian motion whose infinitesimal variance changes according to a three-state continuous-time Markov Chain is studied. This Markov Chain can be viewed as a telegraph process with one on state and two off states. We first derive the distribution of occupation time of the on state. Then the result is used to develop a likelihood estimation procedure when the stochastic process at hand is observed at discrete, possibly irregularly spaced time points. The likelihood function is evaluated with the forward algorithm in the general framework of hidden Markov models. The analytic results are confirmed with simulation studies. The estimation procedure is applied to analyze the position data from a mountain lion.
