Stochastic Analysis of Jump-Diffusions for Financial Log-Return Processes (corrected)
نویسندگان
چکیده
A jump-diffusion log-return process with log-normal jump amplitudes is presented. The probability density and other properties of the theoretical model are rigorously derived. This theoretical density is fit to empirical log-returns of Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index data. The model repairs some failures found from the log-normal distribution of geometric Brownian motion to model features of realistic financial instruments: (1) No large jumps or extreme outliers, (2) Not negatively skewed such that the negative tail is thicker than the positive tail, and (3) Non-leptokurtic due to the lack of thicker tails and higher mode. This is the corrected version of the published paper.

A Useful Family of Stochastic Processes for Modeling Shape Diffusions
One of the new area of research emerging in the field of statistics is the shape analysis. Shape is defined as all the geometrical information of an object whose location, scale and orientation is not of interest. Diffusion in shape analysis can be studied via either perturbation of the key coordinates identifying the initial object or random evolution of the shape itself. Reviewing the f...
متن کاملPortfolio Optimization with Jump–Diffusions: Estimation of Time-Dependent Parameters and Application
This paper treats jump-diffusion processes in continuous time, with emphasis on the jump-amplitude distributions, developing more appropriate models using parameter estimation for the market in one phase and then applying the resulting model to a stochastic optimal portfolio application in a second phase. The new developments are the use of uniform jump-amplitude distributions and time-varying ...
متن کاملStochastic Processes and Control for Jump-Diffusions∗
An applied compact introductory survey of Markov stochastic processes and control in continuous time is presented. The presentation is in tutorial stages, beginning with deterministic dynamical systems for contrast and continuing on to perturbing the deterministic model with diffusions using Wiener processes. Then jump perturbations are added using simple Poisson processes constructing the theo...
متن کاملOption Pricing in Some Non-Lévy Jump Models
This paper considers pricing European options in a large class of one-dimensional Markovian jump processes known as subordinate diffusions, which are obtained by time changing a diffusion process with an independent Lévy or additive random clock. These jump processes are nonLévy in general, and they can be viewed as natural generalization of many popular Lévy processes used in finance. Subordin...
متن کاملModeling Credit Risk in the Jump Threshold Framework
Abstract The jump threshold framework for credit risk modeling developed by Garreau and Kercheval (2016) enjoys the advantages of both structural and reduced form models. In their paper, the focus is on multi-dimensional default dependence, under the assumptions that stock prices follow an exponential Lévy process (i.i.d. log returns) and that interest rates and stock volatility are constant. E...
