Abstract: | The paper studies large sample asymptotic properties of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) for the parameter of a continuous
time Markov chain, observed in white noise. Using the method of weak convergence of likelihoods due to Ibragimov and Khasminskii
(Statistical estimation, vol 16 of Applications of mathematics. Springer-Verlag, New York), consistency, asymptotic normality
and convergence of moments are established for MLE under certain strong ergodicity assumptions on the chain.
