Abstract
In this paper we consider a class of processes that can be represented in the form Ys =
XT (s), where X is a Levy process and T is a non-negative and non-decreasing stochastic
process independent of X. The aim of this work is to infer on the Blumenthal-Getoor index
of the process X from low-frequency observations of the time-changed Levy process Y . We
propose a consistent estimator for this index, derive the minimax rates of convergence and
show that these rates can not be improved in general. The performance of the estimator is
illustrated by numerical examples.
