AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the properties of a sequential maximum likelihood estimator of the unknown linear drift parameter for the Rayleigh diffusion process. The estimator is shown to be closed, unbiased, normally distributed and strongly consistent. Finally a simulation study is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the estimator.
