Motivated by the need to describe regime switching in stock prices, we introduce and study a stochastic process in continuous time with two regimes and one threshold driving the change in regimes. When the difference between the regimes is simply given by different sets of real-valued parameters for the drift and diffusion coefficients, we show that there are consistent estimators for the threshold as long as we know how to classify a given observation of the process as belonging to one of the two regimes.
