On estimation of the extended Orey index for Gaussian processes

摘要

Orey suggested the definition of an index for a Gaussian process with stationary increments which determines various properties of the sample paths of this process. We provide an extension of the definition of the Orey index towards a second-order stochastic process which may not have stationary increments and estimate the Orey index towards a Gaussian process from discrete observations of its sample paths.
