Detailed Description

1-dimensional stochastic process

This class describes a stochastic process governed by dx_t = (t, x_t)dt + ma(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 + process after a time interval $ given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.

Reimplemented in GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, HullWhiteForwardProcess, ExtendedOrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, GeneralizedOrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, GsrProcess, HullWhiteProcess, and MfStateProcess.

virtual Real stdDeviation (Time t0, Real x0, Time dt) const [virtual]
returns the standard deviation $ S(x_{t_0 + process after a time interval $ given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.

Reimplemented in GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, HullWhiteForwardProcess, ExtendedOrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, GemanRoncoroniProcess, GeneralizedOrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, GsrProcess, HullWhiteProcess, and MfStateProcess.

virtual Real variance (Time t0, Real x0, Time dt) const [virtual]
returns the variance $ V(x_{t_0 + process after a time interval $ given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.

Reimplemented in GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, HullWhiteForwardProcess, OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, ExtendedOrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, GeneralizedOrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, GsrProcess, HullWhiteProcess, and MfStateProcess.

virtual Real evolve (Time t0, Real x0, Time dt, Real dw) const [virtual]
returns the asset value after a time interval $ given discretization. By default, it returns E(x_0,t_0, expectation and $ S $ the standard deviation.

Reimplemented in GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, GemanRoncoroniProcess, and ExtendedBlackScholesMertonProcess.

virtual Real apply (Real x0, Real dx) const [virtual]
applies a change to the asset value. By default, it returns $ x + .PP Reimplemented in GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, and Merton76Process.
