“…Assuming X is observed on a discrete grid (t i , y k ) i=0,...,N,k=0,...,M ⊂ [0, T ] × [0, 1], approximate maximum likelihood estimators have been first investigated by Markussen [22] for T → ∞. For various linear SPDEs central limit theorems for method of moment type estimators based on realized quadratic variations have been studied by Torres et al [29], Cialenco and Huang [7], Bibinger and Trabs [3,2], Chong [4,5], Shevchenko et al [28], as well as Kaino and Uchida [18]. However, all these works only give partial answers to the estimation problem.…”
