Stochastic processes are widely used for model building in the
social, physical, engineering and life sciences as well as in
financial economics. In model building, statistical inference for
stochastic processes is of great importance from both a theoretical
and an applications point of view.

This book deals with Fractional Diffusion Processes and
statistical inference for such stochastic processes. The main focus
of the book is to consider parametric and nonparametric inference
problems for fractional diffusion processes when a complete path of
the process over a finite interval is observable.

Key features:

* Introduces self-similar processes, fractional Brownian motion
and stochastic integration with respect to fractional Brownian
motion.

* Provides a comprehensive review of statistical inference for
processes driven by fractional Brownian motion for modelling long
range dependence.

* Presents a study of parametric and nonparametric inference
problems for the fractional diffusion process.

* Discusses the fractional Brownian sheet and infinite
dimensional fractional Brownian motion.

* Includes recent results and developments in the area of
statistical inference of fractional diffusion processes.

Researchers and students working on the statistics of fractional
diffusion processes and applied mathematicians and statisticians
involved in stochastic process modelling will benefit from this
book.
