Abstract
Cowan and Zabczyk (1978) have studied a continuous-time generalization of the so-called secretary problem, where options arise according to a homogeneous Poisson processes of known intensity λ. They gave the complete strategy maximizing the probability of accepting the best option under the usual no-recall condition. In this paper, the solution is extended to the case where the intensity λ is unknown, and also to the case of an inhomogeneous Poisson process with intensity function λ (t), which is either supposed to be known or known up to a multiplicative constant.
