Minimum distance techniques have become increasingly important tools for solving statistical estimation and inference problems. In particular, the successful application of the Hellinger distance approach to fully parametric models is well known. The corresponding optimal estimators, known as...

We describe a method of approximation of strong solutions to Stratonovich differential equations, that depends only on the Brownian motion defining the equation. h being the step size, it is known that the order of convergence of such approximations is h in the general case, and of h in some...
