Abstract
The aim of this paper is to solve the problem of parameter estimation for delay McKean–Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with the coefficients exhibiting super-linear growth in the state component. Specifically, we propose a least squares estimator for an unknown parameter in the drift of a delay McKean–Vlasov SDEs with a small noise dispersion parameter by making use of time-discretized interacting particle systems and prove the weak convergence between the estimator and the true value, under suitable conditions. To achieve our main purposes on weak convergence, we give the approximation of the distribution of delay McKean–Vlasov SDEs at the discrete points and take advantage of calculating skills on the space of probability measures with finite order moments. Moreover, the asymptotic distribution of least squares estimator is derived via the properties of solutions for the corresponding interacting particle systems.
