The asymptotic behaviors for estimators of the drift parameters in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process driven by small symmetric α-stable motion are studied in this paper. Based on the discrete observations, the conditional least squares estimators ( CLSEs ) of all the parameters involved in the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process are proposed. We establish the consistency and the asymptotic distributions of our estimators as ε goes to 0 and n goes to ∞simultaneously.
