We present a geometrical method for analyzing sequential estimating procedures. It is based on the design principle of the second-order efficient sequential estimation provided in Okamoto et al. . By introducing a dual conformal curvature quantity, we clarify the conditions for the covariance minimization of sequential estimators. These conditions are further elaborated for the multidimensional curved exponential family. The theoretical results are then numerically examined by using typical statistical models, von Mises-Fisher, and hyperboloid models.
