Let be a Bessel process of dimension , started at , and let . Work before the first hit of zero. The Itô formula gives
Use the strictly increasing clock and its inverse . Then has unit noise coefficient and drift coefficient . It is therefore a Bessel process of dimension on this changed stochastic interval. If is negative, the assertion means the positive diffusion killed at zero. No continuation through zero follows from this computation, where the clock or the power derivative can become singular.
