Functional Cramér-Rao bounds and Stein estimators in Sobolev spaces, for Brownian motion and Cox processes

We investigate the problems of drift estimation for a shifted Brownian motion and intensity estimation for a Cox process on a finite interval [0,T], when the risk is given by the energy functional associated to some fractional Sobolev space H01⊂Wα,2⊂L2. In both situations, Cramér-Rao lower bounds are obtained, entailing in particular that no unbiased estimators (not necessarily adapted) with finite risk in H01 exist. By Malliavin calculus techniques, we also study super-efficient Stein type estimators (in the Gaussian case).
