When a diffusion is ergodic its transition density converges to its invariant density, see Durrett (1998). This convergence enabled us to introduce a sample partitioning technique that gives in each sub-sample, maximum likelihood estimators. The averages of these being a natural choice as estimators. To compare our estimators with the optimal we obtained from martingale estimating functions, see Sørensen (1998), we used the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for which exact simulations can be carried out.
A linear model in which the mean vector and covariance matrix depend on the same parameters is connected. Limit results for these models are presented. The characteristic function of the gradient of the score is obtained for normal connected models, thus, enabling the study of maximum likelihood estimators. A special case with diagonal covariance matrix is studied.
