On one property of martingales with conditionally Gaussian increments and its application in the theory of nonasymptotic inference

详细

A transformation of a discrete-time martingale with conditionally Gaussian increments into a sequence of i.i.d. standard Gaussian random variables is proposed as based on a sequence of stopping times constructed using the quadratic variation. It is shown that sequential estimators for the parameters in AR(1) and generalized first-order autoregressive models have a nonasymptotic normal distribution.
