Parameter estimation for discretely observed continuous-time Markov chains

This thesis develops a method for estimating the parameters of continuous-time Markov chains discretely observed by Poisson sampling. The inference problem in this context is usually simplified by assuming the process to be time-homogeneous and that the process can be observed continuously for some...
