Abstract
For a diffusion process dXt = σdB t + b(t, Xt)dt with (σ t ) unknown, we study the large and moderate deviations of the estimator \(\bar \Theta _n (t): = \sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^{\left[ {nt} \right]} {(X_{k/n} - X_{(k - 1)/n} )^2 } \) of the quadratic variational process \(\Theta (t) = \int_0^t {\sigma _s^2 {\text{d}}} s\).
