The exact distribution of the sufficient statistics and distribution of the
maximum likelihood estimator of the drift (damping) parameter in a station
ary complex Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, given by (1.1), is investigated. Co
mplete tables of the distribution function for different levels are given b
y the help of MATLAB. The comparison with the earlier calculations are disc
ussed. The relation of the famous model of Chandler Wobble proposed by Kolm
ogorov is investigated [1]. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reser
