Abstract

A reflected Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process is a process that returns continuously and immediately to the interior of the state space when it attains a certain boundary. It is an extended model of the traditional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process being extensively used in finance as a one-factor short-term interest rate model. Under some mild conditions, this paper is devoted to the study of the analogue of the Cramer–Rao lower bound of a general class of parameter estimation of the unknown parameter in reflected Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes.
