Learning interacting particle systems: diffusion parameter estimation for aggregation equations

In this article, we study the parameter estimation of interacting particle systems subject to the Newtonian aggregation and Brownian diffusion. Specifically, we construct an estimator $\widehat{\nu}$ with partial observed data to approximate the diffusion parameter $\nu$, and the estimation error is achieved. Furthermore, we extend this result to general aggregation equations with a bounded Lipschitz interaction field.
