Abstract
In this article, we investigate an optimal property of the maximum likelihood estimator of Gaussian locally stationary processes by the second-order approximation. In the case where the model is correctly specified, it is shown that appropriate modifications of the maximum likelihood estimator for Gaussian locally stationary processes is second-order asymptotically efficient. We also discuss second-order robustness properties.
