The motivation comes from a degradation mechanism that arises in fatigue crack growth (FCG). This study concerns the parameter estimation of a stochastic differential equation that describes
the FCG phenomenon. The equation is written in the from of a stochastic regression model where the residuals are assumed martingale differences. In this framework, the parameter estimates are
proved to be consistent.
