Abstract: This paper presents a study of the Hurst index estimation in the case of fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck and geometric Brownian motion models. The performance of the estimators is studied both with respect to the value of the Hurst index and the length of sample paths.

Keywords: fractional Brownian motion, Hurst index, Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, geometric Brownian motion
