Persistent Random Walks. II. Functional Scaling Limits
Persistent random walks. II. Functional Scaling Limits Peggy Cénac1. Arnaud Le Ny2. Basile de Loynes3. Yoann Offret1 1Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne (IMB) - UMR CNRS 5584 Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 21000 Dijon, France 2Laboratoire d’Analyse et de Mathématiques Appliquées (LAMA) - UMR CNRS 8050 Université Paris Est Créteil, 94010 Créteil Cedex, France 3Ensai - Université de Bretagne-Loire, Campus de Ker-Lann, Rue Blaise Pascal, BP 37203, 35172 BRUZ cedex, France Abstract We give a complete and unified description – under some stability assumptions – of the functional scaling limits associated with some persistent random walks for which the recurrent or transient type is studied in [1]. As a result, we highlight a phase transition phenomenon with respect to the memory. It turns out that the limit process is either Markovian or not according to – to put it in a nutshell – the rate of decrease of the distribution tails corresponding to the persistent times. In the memoryless situation, the limits are classical strictly stable Lévy processes of infinite variations. However, we point out that the description of the critical Cauchy case fills some lacuna even in the closely related context of Directionally Reinforced Random Walks (DRRWs) for which it has not been considered yet. Besides, we need to introduced some relevant generalized drift – extended the classical one – in order to study the critical case but also the situation when the limit is no longer Markovian. It appears to be in full generality a drift in mean for the Persistent Random Walk (PRW). The limit processes keeping some memory – given by some variable length Markov chain – of the underlying PRW are called arcsine Lamperti anomalous diffusions due to their marginal distribution which are computed explicitly here. -
Numerical Solution of Jump-Diffusion LIBOR Market Models
Finance Stochast. 7, 1–27 (2003) c Springer-Verlag 2003 Numerical solution of jump-diffusion LIBOR market models Paul Glasserman1, Nicolas Merener2 1 403 Uris Hall, Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA (e-mail: [email protected]) 2 Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. This paper develops, analyzes, and tests computational procedures for the numerical solution of LIBOR market models with jumps. We consider, in par- ticular, a class of models in which jumps are driven by marked point processes with intensities that depend on the LIBOR rates themselves. While this formulation of- fers some attractive modeling features, it presents a challenge for computational work. As a first step, we therefore show how to reformulate a term structure model driven by marked point processes with suitably bounded state-dependent intensities into one driven by a Poisson random measure. This facilitates the development of discretization schemes because the Poisson random measure can be simulated with- out discretization error. Jumps in LIBOR rates are then thinned from the Poisson random measure using state-dependent thinning probabilities. Because of discon- tinuities inherent to the thinning process, this procedure falls outside the scope of existing convergence results; we provide some theoretical support for our method through a result establishing first and second order convergence of schemes that accommodates thinning but imposes stronger conditions on other problem data. The bias and computational efficiency of various schemes are compared through numerical experiments.

Superprocesses and Mckean-Vlasov Equations with Creation of Mass
Sup erpro cesses and McKean-Vlasov equations with creation of mass L. Overb eck Department of Statistics, University of California, Berkeley, 367, Evans Hall Berkeley, CA 94720, y U.S.A. Abstract Weak solutions of McKean-Vlasov equations with creation of mass are given in terms of sup erpro cesses. The solutions can b e approxi- mated by a sequence of non-interacting sup erpro cesses or by the mean- eld of multityp e sup erpro cesses with mean- eld interaction. The lat- ter approximation is asso ciated with a propagation of chaos statement for weakly interacting multityp e sup erpro cesses.

A switching self-exciting jump diusion process for stock prices Donatien Hainaut∗ ISBA, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium Franck Morauxy Univ. Rennes 1 and CREM May 25, 2018 Abstract This study proposes a new Markov switching process with clustering eects. In this approach, a hidden Markov chain with a nite number of states modulates the parameters of a self-excited jump process combined to a geometric Brownian motion. Each regime corresponds to a particular economic cycle determining the expected return, the diusion coecient and the long-run frequency of clustered jumps. We study rst the theoretical properties of this process and we propose a sequential Monte-Carlo method to lter the hidden state variables. -
Lectures on Lévy Processes, Stochastic Calculus and Financial
Lectures on L¶evyProcesses, Stochastic Calculus and Financial Applications, Ovronnaz September 2005 David Applebaum Probability and Statistics Department, University of She±eld, Hicks Building, Houns¯eld Road, She±eld, England, S3 7RH e-mail: D.Applebaum@she±eld.ac.uk Introduction A L¶evyprocess is essentially a stochastic process with stationary and in- dependent increments. The basic theory was developed, principally by Paul L¶evyin the 1930s. In the past 15 years there has been a renaissance of interest and a plethora of books, articles and conferences. Why ? There are both theoretical and practical reasons. Theoretical ² There are many interesting examples - Brownian motion, simple and compound Poisson processes, ®-stable processes, subordinated processes, ¯nancial processes, relativistic process, Riemann zeta process . ² L¶evyprocesses are simplest generic class of process which have (a.s.) continuous paths interspersed with random jumps of arbitrary size oc- curring at random times. ² L¶evyprocesses comprise a natural subclass of semimartingales and of Markov processes of Feller type. ² Noise. L¶evyprocesses are a good model of \noise" in random dynamical systems. 1 Input + Noise = Output Attempts to describe this di®erentially leads to stochastic calculus.A large class of Markov processes can be built as solutions of stochastic di®erential equations driven by L¶evynoise. L¶evydriven stochastic partial di®erential equations are beginning to be studied with some intensity. ² Robust structure. Most applications utilise L¶evyprocesses taking val- ues in Euclidean space but this can be replaced by a Hilbert space, a Banach space (these are important for spdes), a locally compact group, a manifold. Quantised versions are non-commutative L¶evyprocesses on quantum groups. -

Provided results are obtained by calibrating on market data and by mean of numerical simulations which clearly show how the jump-diffusion model outperforms the classical geometric Brownian motion approach.

My goal has been to illustrate, in some detail, some of the salient features of the theory of multiparameter processes and in particular, Cairoli’s theory of multiparameter mar- tingales. In order to get to the heart of the matter, and develop a kind of intuition at the same time, I have chosen the simplest topics of random walks, Brownian motions, etc. to highlight the methods. The full theory can be found in Multi-Parameter Processes: An Introduction to Random Fields (henceforth, referred to as MPP) which is to be published by Springer-Verlag, although these lectures also contain material not covered in the mentioned book. -
Sensitivity Estimation of Sabr Model Via Derivative of Random Variables
Proceedings of the 2011 Winter Simulation Conference S. Jain, R. R. Creasey, J. Himmelspach, K. P. White, and M. Fu, eds. SENSITIVITY ESTIMATION OF SABR MODEL VIA DERIVATIVE OF RANDOM VARIABLES NAN CHEN YANCHU LIU The Chinese University of Hong Kong 709A William Mong Engineering Building Shatin, N. T., HONG KONG ABSTRACT We derive Monte Carlo simulation estimators to compute option price sensitivities under the SABR stochastic volatility model. As a companion to the exact simulation method developed by Cai, Chen and Song (2011), this paper uses the sensitivity of “vol of vol” as a showcase to demonstrate how to use the pathwise method to obtain unbiased estimators to the price sensitivities under SABR. By appropriately conditioning on the path generated by the volatility, the evolution of the forward price can be represented as noncentral chi-square random variables with stochastic parameters. Combined with the technique of derivative of random variables, we can obtain fast and accurate unbiased estimators for the sensitivities. 1 INTRODUCTION The ubiquitous existence of the volatility smile and skew poses a great challenge to the practice of risk management in fixed and foreign exchange trading desks. In foreign currency option markets, the implied volatility is often relatively lower for at-the-money options and becomes gradually higher as the strike price moves either into the money or out of the money. Traders refer to this stylized pattern as the volatility smile. In the equity and interest rate markets, a typical aspect of the implied volatility, which is also known as the volatility skew, is that it decreases as the strike price increases. -

Introduction to Lévy Processes

Random walks and continuous-time limits 2. Examples 3. Classification and construction of L´evy processes 4. Examples 5. Poisson point processes and simulation 1 1. Random walks and continuous-time limits 4 Definition 1 Let Yk, k ≥ 1, be i.i.d. Then n X 0 Sn = Yk, n ∈ N, k=1 is called a random walk. -4 0 8 16 Random walks have stationary and independent increments Yk = Sk − Sk−1, k ≥ 1. Stationarity means the Yk have identical distribution. Definition 2 A right-continuous process Xt, t ∈ R+, with stationary independent increments is called L´evy process. 2 Page 1 What are Sn, n ≥ 0, and Xt, t ≥ 0? Stochastic processes; mathematical objects, well-defined, with many nice properties that can be studied. If you don’t like this, think of a model for a stock price evolving with time. There are also many other applications. If you worry about negative values, think of log’s of prices. What does Definition 2 mean? Increments , = 1 , are independent and Xtk − Xtk−1 k , . , n , = 1 for all 0 = . Xtk − Xtk−1 ∼ Xtk−tk−1 k , . , n t0 < . < tn Right-continuity refers to the sample paths (realisations). 3 Can we obtain L´evyprocesses from random walks? What happens e.g. if we let the time unit tend to zero, i.e. take a more and more remote look at our random walk? If we focus at a fixed time, 1 say, and speed up the process so as to make n steps per time unit, we know what happens, the answer is given by the Central Limit Theorem: 2 Theorem 1 (Lindeberg-L´evy) If σ = V ar(Y1) < ∞, then Sn − (Sn) √E → Z ∼ N(0, σ2) in distribution, as n → ∞.
