virtual Real expectation | ( | Time | t0, | |
Real | x0, | |||
Time | dt | |||
) | const [virtual] |
returns the expectation of the process after a time interval
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 of the process after a time interval
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 of the process after a time interval
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 according to the given discretization. By default, it returns
where is the expectation and
the standard deviation.
virtual Real apply | ( | Real | x0, | |
Real | dx | |||
) | const [virtual] |
applies a change to the asset value. By default, it returns .
Reimplemented in GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, and Merton76Process.
