Detailed Description
1-dimensional stochastic process
This class describes a stochastic process governed by [ dx_t = mu(t, x_t)dt + igma(t, x_t)dW_t. ]
Member Function Documentation
virtual Real expectation (Time t0, Real x0, Time dt) const [virtual]
returns the expectation $ E(x_{t_0 + Delta t} | x_{t_0} = x_0) $ of the process after a time interval $ Delta t $ according to the given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.
Reimplemented in HullWhiteProcess, HullWhiteForwardProcess, and OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.
virtual Real stdDeviation (Time t0, Real x0, Time dt) const [virtual]
returns the standard deviation $ S(x_{t_0 + Delta t} | x_{t_0} = x_0) $ of the process after a time interval $ Delta t $ according to the given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.
Reimplemented in HullWhiteProcess, HullWhiteForwardProcess, and OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.
virtual Real variance (Time t0, Real x0, Time dt) const [virtual]
returns the variance $ V(x_{t_0 + Delta t} | x_{t_0} = x_0) $ of the process after a time interval $ Delta t $ according to the given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.
Reimplemented in HullWhiteProcess, HullWhiteForwardProcess, and OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.
virtual Real evolve (Time t0, Real x0, Time dt, Real dw) const [virtual]
returns the asset value after a time interval $ Delta t $ according to the given discretization. By default, it returns [ E(x_0,t_0,Delta t) + S(x_0,t_0,Delta t) dot Delta w ] where $ E $ is the expectation and $ S $ the standard deviation.
Reimplemented in ExtendedBlackScholesMertonProcess.
virtual Real apply (Real x0, Real dx) const [virtual]
applies a change to the asset value. By default, it returns $ x + Delta x $.
Reimplemented in GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, and Merton76Process.
