Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of parameter estimation for Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes with small fractional Lévy noises, based on discrete observations at n regularly spaced time points \(t_i=i/n,\)\(i=1,\ldots ,n\) on [0, 1]. Least squares method is used to obtain an estimator of the drift parameter. The consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the estimator have been established.
