Asymptotic expansions of maximum likelihood estimators for small diffusions via the theory of Malliavin-Watanabe. (English) Zbl 0767.60035

Summary: The asymptotic expansions of the probability distributions of statistics for the small diffusion are derived by means of the Malliavin calculus. From this the second order efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimator is proved.
