 \textcolor{blue}{The general idea of the \pkg{yuima} package is to separate into different subclass objects the statistical model, the data and the statistical methods. As will be explained with several examples, the user may give a mathematical description of the statistical model with \code{setModel} which prepares a \code{yuima.model} object by filling the appropriate slots. If the aim is the simulation of the solution of the stochastic  differential equation specified in the \code{yuima.model} object then, using the method \code{simulate}, it is possible to obtain one trajectory of the process. As an output, a \code{yuima} object is created which contains the original model specified in the \code{yuima.model} object in the slot named \code{model} and two additional slots named \code{data}, for the simulated data, and \code{sampling} which contains the description of the simulation scheme used as well as other informations. The details of \code{simulate} will be explained in Section \ref{sec:simul} along with the use of method \code{setSampling} which allows to specify the type of sampling scheme to be used by the \code{simulate} method.
 But \code{yuima} object may contain the slot \code{data} non only as the outcome of \code{simulate} but also because the user decides to analyse its own data. In this case the method \code{setData} is used to transform most types  of \proglang{R} time series object into a a proper \code{yuima.data} object.
 When the slots \code{data} and \code{model} are available, many other methods can be used to perform statistical analysis on these sde's models. These methods will be discussed in Section \ref{sec5}.

 As seen in the above, the parameter space is accurately described internally in a \code{yuima} object because in inference for stochastic differential equations, estimators of different parameters have different properties. Usually, the rate of convergence for estimators in the diffusion coefficient are similar to the ones in the i.i.d. sampling while estimators of parameters in the drift coefficient are slower or, in some cases, not even consistent. The \pkg{yuima} always tries to implement the best statistical inference for the given model under the observed sampling scheme.

 \section{Fractional Gaussian Noise}\label{sec:fgn}
+The \pkg{yuima} allows for the description of stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion of the following type
+$$\de X_t =  a(X_t) \de t + b(X_t) \de W_t^H
+$$
+where $W^H=\left( W^H_t, t\geq 0 \right)$ is a normalized fractional Brownian motion (fBM), {\it i.e.} the zero mean Gaussian processes with covariance function
+$$E( W_s^H W_t^H )= \frac{1}{2} \left( |s|^{2H}+|t|^{2H}- |t-s|^{2H}\right)$$ with Hurst exponent $H\in(0,1)$.  The fractional Brownian motion process is  neither Markovian nor a semimartingale for $H\neq\frac{1}{2}$ but
+remains Gaussian.  For $H > \frac12$, the solution $X_t$ above  presents the long-range dependance property that makes it useful for different applications in biology, physics, ethernet traffic or finance.
 In order to specify a stochastic differential equation driven by fractional Gaussian noise it is necessary to specify the value of the Hurst parameter. For example, if we want to specify the following model
 $$\de Y_t =  3 Y_t \de t + \de W_t^H$$
 we proceed as follows

 The functional is expressed in the following abstract form
 \begin{equation}
 \label{yuima:func1}
-F^\ve(X_t^\ve)  = \sum_{\alpha=0}^r \int_0^T f_\alpha(X_t^\ve,\de)\de W_t^\alpha + F(X_t^\ve,\ve), \qquad W_t^0=t.
+F^{(\ve)}  = \sum_{\alpha=0}^r \int_0^T f_\alpha(X_t^{(\ve)},\de)\de W_t^\alpha + F(X_t^{(\ve)},\ve), \qquad W_t^0=t.
 \end{equation} 
 A typical example of application is the case of Asian option pricing. For example, in the Black \& Scholes model
 \begin{equation}
 \label{eqyuima:gbm1}
-\de X_t^\ve = \mu X_t^\ve\de t + \ve X_t^\ve \de W_t
+\de X_t^{(\ve)} = \mu X_t^{(\ve)}\de t + \ve X_t^{(\ve)} \de W_t
 \end{equation}
 the price of the option is of the form

+$$ \dE\left\{ \max\left( \frac{1}{T}\int_0^T X_t^{(\ve)} \de t - K,0\right)\right\}.$$
 Thus the functional of interest is
-$$F^\ve(X_t^\ve) = \frac{1}{T}\int_0^T X_t^\ve \de t, \qquad r=1$$ 
+$$F^{(\ve)} = \frac{1}{T}\int_0^T X_t^{(\ve)} \de t, \qquad r=1$$

 $$
 in \eqref{yuima:func1}.
