We derive consistency and asymptotic normality results for quasi-maximum likelihood methods for drift parameters of ergodic stochastic processes observed in discrete time in an underlying continuous-time setting. The special feature of our analysis is that the stochastic integral part is unobserved and non-parametric. Additionally, the drift may depend on the (unknown and unobserved) stochastic integrand. Our results hold for ergodic semi-parametric diffusions and backward SDEs. Simulation studies confirm that the methods proposed yield good convergence results.
