The development of long-memory stochastic volatility (LMSV) models has increased the interest in the estimation of persistent processes observed with added noise. This paper investigates the performance of semi-parametric methods for estimating the long-memory-parameter in the long-range dependence plus noise case and demonstrates improvements obtained by preliminary smoothing and aggregation of the series.
