Abstract
We first present two convergence results about the second-order
quadratic variations of the subfractional Brownian motion: the first is a deterministic
asymptotic expansion; the second is a central limit theorem. Next we combine these
results and concentration inequalities to build confidence intervals for the self-similarity
parameter associated with one-dimensional subfractional Brownian motion.
