Local estimation of the Hurst index of multifractional brownian motion by increment ratio statistic method
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 17 (2013), pp. 307-327.

We investigate here the central limit theorem of the increment ratio statistic of a multifractional Brownian motion, leading to a CLT for the time varying Hurst index. The proofs are quite simple relying on Breuer-Major theorems and an original freezing of time strategy. A simulation study shows the goodness of fit of this estimator.
