Abstract
Given n discrete observations of a homogeneous diffusion process with a
piecewise constant diffusion coefficient containing one point of discontinuity
p0, we study the semiparametric problem of estimating its 'change in space'-
point p_0 in the high-frequency setting. We establish a lower bound for the
minimax rate of convergence n^--3/4, which is slower than the n^-1-rate in
traditional change-point problems.
