Gaussian estimation of parametric spectral density with unknown pole

We consider a parametric spectral density with power-law behavior about a fractional pole at the unknown frequency $\omega$. The case of known $\omega$, especially $\omega =0$, is standard in the long memory literature. When $omega$ is unknown, asymptotic distribution theory for estimates of parameters, including the (long) memory parameter, is significantly harder. We study a form of Gaussian estimate. We establish $n$-consistency of the estimate of $\omega$, and discuss its (non-standard) limiting distributional behavior. For the remaining parameter estimates,we establish $\sqrt{n}$-consistency and asymptotic normality.
