Detailed Description

Covariation process.

The covariation process of two stochastic processes $X_t$ and $Y_t$ is defined as

\[ \left[X,Y\right]_t = \int X_t dY_t + \int Y_t dX_t - X_tY_t. \]

For deterministic processes this equals zero. The mean of this process is zero, if both processes $X_t$ and $Y_t$ are uncorrelated. The mean can be tested using a ProcessEstimator. A covariation process can be used as integrator in differential equations. The Covariation class estimates the covariation process numerically, by using $\left[X,Y\right]_t = \int dX_t dY_t $.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Covariation::Covariation ( StochasticProcess x,
StochasticProcess y,
string  name = "",
const string &  type = "Covariation Process" 
)
inline

Construct.

This constructs a covariation prcoess of thwo stochastic processes. The resulting process is active by default, but can be set passive.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Member Function Documentation

void Covariation::prepareNextState ( )
inlinevirtual

Calculate next value.

If the process is active, this is called automatically. If it is passive, call proceedToNextState() first, and then prepareNextState(), to complete a full step..

Reimplemented from StochasticProcess.
