Detailed Description

This class represents a normal inverse gaussian process (NIG).

It obeys the stochastic differential equation [15]

\[ dX(t) = \mu dt + dB(h(t)), \tag{nig} \]

where \(\{B(t),  t\ge0\}\) is a BrownianMotion with drift \(\beta\) and variance 1, and \(h(t)\) is an InverseGaussianProcess \(IG(\nu/\gamma,\nu^2)\), with \(\nu= \delta dt\) and \(\gamma= \sqrt{\alpha^2 - \beta^2}\).

In this class, the process is generated using the sequential technique: \(X(0)=x_0\) and

\[ X(t_j) - X(t_{j-1}) =\mu dt + \beta Y_j + \sqrt{Y_j} Z_j, \]

where \(Z_j \sim N(0,1)\), and \(Y_j \sim IG(\nu/\gamma,\nu^2)\) with \(\nu= \delta(t_j - t_{j-1})\).

There is one umontreal.ssj.rng.RandomStream used to generate the \(Z_j\)’s and there are one or two streams used to generate the underlying InverseGaussianProcess, depending on which IG subclass is used.

In finance, a NIG process usually means that the log-return is given by a NIG process; GeometricNormalInverseGaussianProcess should be used in that case.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NormalInverseGaussianProcess() [1/2]

NormalInverseGaussianProcess ( double  x0,
double  alpha,
double  beta,
double  mu,
double  delta,
RandomStream  streamBrownian,
InverseGaussianProcess  igP 
)

Given an InverseGaussianProcess igP, constructs a new NormalInverseGaussianProcess.

The parameters and observation times of the IG process will be overriden by the parameters of the NIG process. If there are two umontreal.ssj.rng.RandomStream ’s in the InverseGaussianProcess, this constructor assumes that both streams have been set to the same stream.

◆ NormalInverseGaussianProcess() [2/2]

NormalInverseGaussianProcess ( double  x0,
double  alpha,
double  beta,
double  mu,
double  delta,
RandomStream  streamBrownian,
RandomStream  streamIG1,
RandomStream  streamIG2,
String  igType 
)

Constructs a new NormalInverseGaussianProcess.

The string argument corresponds to the type of underlying InverseGaussianProcess. The choices are SEQUENTIAL_SLOW, SEQUENTIAL_MSH, BRIDGE and PCA, which correspond respectively to InverseGaussianProcess, InverseGaussianProcessMSH, InverseGaussianProcessBridge and InverseGaussianProcessPCA. The third umontreal.ssj.rng.RandomStream, streamIG2, will not be used at all if the SEQUENTIAL_SLOW or PCA methods are chosen.

Member Function Documentation

◆ generatePath()

double [] generatePath ( )

Generates the path.

This method samples each stream alternatively, which is useful for quasi-Monte Carlo, where all streams are in fact the same iterator on a umontreal.ssj.hups.PointSet.

◆ nextObservation()

double nextObservation ( )

Returns the value of the process for the next time step.

If the underlying InverseGaussianProcess is of type InverseGaussianProcessPCA, this method cannot be used. It will work with InverseGaussianProcessBridge, but the return order of the observations is the bridge order.

◆ setObservationTimes()

void setObservationTimes ( double  t[],
int  d 
)

Sets the observation times on the NIG process as usual, but also sets the observation times of the underlying InverseGaussianProcess.

It furthermore sets the starting value of the InverseGaussianProcess to t[0].

◆ setParams()

void setParams ( double  x0,
double  alpha,
double  beta,
double  mu,
double  delta 
)

Sets the parameters.

Also, computes \(\gamma= \sqrt{\alpha^2-\beta^2}\).
