Detailed Description

This class represents an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process \(\{X(t) : t \geq0 \}\), sampled at times \(0 = t_0 < t_1 < \cdots< t_d\).

This process obeys the stochastic differential equation

\[ dX(t) = \alpha(b - X(t)) dt + \sigma dB(t) \tag{ornstein} \]

with initial condition \(X(0)= x_0\), where \(\alpha\), \(b\) and \(\sigma\) are positive constants, and \(\{B(t), t\ge0\}\) is a standard Brownian motion (with drift 0 and volatility 1). This process is mean-reverting in the sense that it always tends to drift toward its general mean \(b\). The process is generated using the sequential technique [67]  (p. 110)

\[ X(t_j) = e^{-\alpha(t_j - t_{j-1})} X(t_{j-1}) + b\left(1 - e^{-\alpha(t_j - t_{j-1})}\right) + \sigma\sqrt{\frac{1 - e^{-2\alpha(t_j - t_{j-1})}}{2\alpha}} Z_j \tag{ornstein-seq} \]

where \(Z_j \sim N(0,1)\). The time intervals \(t_j - t_{j-1}\) can be arbitrarily large.

◆ OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess() [1/2]

umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess ( double x0,
double alpha,
double b,
double sigma,
RandomStream stream )

Constructs a new OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess with parameters.

\(\alpha=\) alpha, \(b\), \(\sigma=\) sigma and initial value \(X(t_0) =\) x0. The normal variates \(Z_j\) will be generated by inversion using the stream stream.

Definition at line 66 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess() [2/2]

umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess ( double x0,
double alpha,
double b,
double sigma,
NormalGen gen )

Here, the normal variate generator is specified directly instead of specifying the stream.

The normal generator gen can use another method than inversion.

Member Function Documentation

◆ generatePath() [1/2]

double[] umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.generatePath ( )

Generates, returns, and saves the sample path \(\{X(t_0), X(t_1), \dots, X(t_d)\}\).

It can then be accessed via getPath, getSubpath, or getObservation. The generation method depends on the process type.

Reimplemented from umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.StochasticProcess.

Reimplemented in umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcessEuler, and umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckWithIntegratedProcess.

Definition at line 128 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ generatePath() [2/2]

double[] umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.generatePath ( RandomStream stream)

Generates a sample path of the process at all observation times, which are provided in array t.

Note that t[0] should be the observation time of x0, the initial value of the process, and t[] should have at least

\(d+1\) elements (see the setObservationTimes method).

Reimplemented from umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.StochasticProcess.

Definition at line 147 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ getAlpha()

double umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.getAlpha ( )

Returns the value of \(\alpha\).

Definition at line 185 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ getB()

double umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.getB ( )

Returns the value of \(b\).

Definition at line 192 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ getGen()

NormalGen umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.getGen ( )

Returns the normal random variate generator used.

The RandomStream used for that generator can be changed via getGen().setStream(stream), for example.

Definition at line 207 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ getSigma()

double umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.getSigma ( )

Returns the value of \(\sigma\).

Definition at line 199 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ getStream()

RandomStream umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.getStream ( )

Returns the random stream of the normal generator.

Reimplemented from umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.StochasticProcess.

Definition at line 178 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ nextObservation() [1/3]

double umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.nextObservation ( )

Generates and returns the next observation \(X(t_j)\) of the stochastic process.

The processes are usually sampled sequentially, i.e. if the last observation generated was for time

\(t_{j-1}\), the next observation returned will be for time \(t_j\). In some cases, subclasses extending this abstract class may use non-sequential sampling algorithms (such as bridge sampling). The order of generation of the \(t_j\)’s is then specified by the subclass. All the processes generated using principal components analysis (PCA) do not have this method.

Reimplemented from umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.StochasticProcess.

Reimplemented in umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcessEuler.

Definition at line 83 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ nextObservation() [2/3]

double umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.nextObservation ( double nextTime)

Generates and returns the next observation at time \(t_{j+1} =\) nextTime, using the previous observation time \(t_j\) defined earlier (either by this method or by setObservationTimes), as well as the value of the previous observation \(X(t_j)\).

Warning: This method will reset the observations time \(t_{j+1}\) for this process to nextTime. The user must make sure that the \(t_{j+1}\) supplied is

\(\geq t_j\).

Reimplemented in umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcessEuler.

Definition at line 102 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ nextObservation() [3/3]

double umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.nextObservation ( double x,
double dt )

Generates an observation of the process in dt time units, assuming that the process has value \(x\) at the current time.

Uses the process parameters specified in the constructor. Note that this method does not affect the sample path of the process stored internally (if any).

Reimplemented in umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcessEuler.

Definition at line 121 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ setParams()

void umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.setParams ( double x0,
double alpha,
double b,
double sigma )

Resets the parameters \(X(t_0) =\) x0, \(\alpha=\) alpha,.

\(b =\) b and \(\sigma=\) sigma of the process. Warning: This method will recompute some quantities stored internally, which may be slow if called too frequently.

Definition at line 159 of file OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.java.

◆ setStream()

void umontreal.ssj.stochprocess.OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess.setStream ( RandomStream stream)

Resets the random stream of the normal generator to stream.
