This paper deals with a projection least square estimator of the function $J_0$ computed from multiple independent observations on $[0,T]$ of the process $Z$ defined by $dZ_t = J_0(t)d\langle M\rangle_t + dM_t$, where $M$ is a centered, continuous and square integrable martingale vanishing at $0$. Risk bounds are established on this estimator, on an associated adaptive estimator and on an associated discrete time version used in practice. An appropriate transformation allows to rewrite the differential equation $dX_t = V(X_t)(b_0(t)dt +\sigma(t)dB_t)$, where $B$ is a fractional Brownian motion of Hurst parameter $H\in [1/2,1)$, as a model of the previous type. So, the second part of the paper deals with risk bounds on a nonparametric estimator of $b_0$ derived from the results on the projection least square estimator of $J_0$. In particular, our results apply to the estimation of the drift function in a non-autonomous Black-Scholes model and to nonparametric estimation in a non-autonomous fractional stochastic volatility model.
