Discrete space-simulation for Lévy processes
(2012) FMS820 20121Mathematical Statistics
- Abstract (Swedish)
- In this thesis I will present a way of discretizing Lévy processes in
space instead of in time. The foundation is built on work done by
Adalbjörnsson,Quiroz and Wiktorsson, which shows how this is done for
Brownian motions with constant drift and volatility. I then start by
extending the method to multidimensional Brownian motions, which is then
extended to multidimensional SDE:s by using an Euler approximation. The
method is then extended to Jump-Diffusions. I
also present an approximation method for approximating Infinite activity
processes with Jump-Diffusions, and as result the simulation method is
extended to Infinite activity processes. Since the method bounds process
in space it’s natural to consider path-dependent... (More) - In this thesis I will present a way of discretizing Lévy processes in
