This paper is a survey of estimation techniques for stationary and
ergodic diffusion processes observed at discrete points in time.
The reader is introduced to the following techniques: (i)
estimating functions with special emphasis on martingale estimating
functions and so-called simple estimating functions; (ii)
analytical and numerical approximations of the likelihood function
which can in principle be made arbitrarily accurate; (iii)
Bayesian analysis and MCMC methods; and (iv) indirect inference
and EMM which both introduce auxiliary (but wrong) models and
correct for the implied bias by simulation.
