1 Normal Distribution and Brownian Process Page 1 Outline Brownian Process Continuity of Sample Paths Differentiability of Sample Paths Simulating Sample Paths Hitting times and Maximum
2 Searching for a Continuous-time Process Page 2 Consider a process {B t : t 0} with standard deviation parameter σ and properties i) B(0) = 0, ii) B(t) has independent increments, iii) B t Normal(0, σ 2 t) for each t, i.e., 1 x2 f B t (x) = exp 2π σ 2 t 2σ 2 t Ex: Properties i), ii), iii) imply stationary increments. B t Normal(0, σ 2 t) and B s Normal(0, σ 2 t), and their moment generating functions respectively are m B t x = exp(σ 2 tx 2 /2) and m B s x = exp(σ 2 sx 2 /2). Since B t = B s + B t B s and B s B t B s for s t, m B t x = m B s x m B t B(s) x So m B t B(s) x = m B t x m B s x = exp(σ2 tx 2 /2) exp(σ 2 sx 2 /2) = exp σ2 t s x 2 2 B(t) This implies B t B(s) Normal 0, σ 2 t s, which depends only on t s but not separately on t or s. Use the process B(t) to represent particle or price movements over time. Set the current position of the process at origin: B(t = 0) = 0. After s time, the process arrives at B(s).» Assume: the future B(t) for t > s is independent of the past B(s), so B(t) has independent increments.» Do not particles/prices have momentum/trend? Location matters as well as the velocity/trend? Assume the process is as likely to go up as to come down, and it is likely to go further away from the origin in more time, so E(B(t)) = 0 and V(B(t))/t is constant. These are all reasonable but do not lead us to Normal distribution.
3 Linking to Normal Distribution via Random Walk: A Discrete-time Process Page 3 X n is called a random walk if X 0 = 0 and X n has increments X n+1 X n = σ with probability 1/2 σ with probability 1/2 Are the increments independent and stationary? Yes. E X n+1 X n = 0 and V X n+1 X n = σ 2 /2 + σ 2 /2 = σ 2. {Y i = X i X i 1 : i 1} is an iid sequence with mean E(Y i ) = 0 and variance V(Y i ) = σ 2. E X n = 0 and V X n = σ 2 n. n X n = i=1 X i X i 1 d Normal(0, σ 2 n) as n. For fixed t [nε, n + 1 ε), set of n = t ε, then X t ε x x as x. d Normal 0, σ 2 X t ε d Normal 0, σ 2 t ε as t. ε ε X t d Normal 0, σ 2 t as ε 0. ε Define continuous-time process B rw (t) as the limit of the random walk B rw t : = lim ε X t ε 0 ε B rw t Normal 0, σ 2 t. B rw (t) satisfies i), ii) and iii) listed on the previous page. t ε as t ε. If the process is viewed as sum of an iid sequence, central limit theorem can be invoked. This reasoning leads to Normal distribution.
4 Any Other Property - Continuity To Deduce or To Assume Page 4 Properties i), ii) and iii) do not ensure the continuity of the process. Does B(t + h) converge to B(t) almost surely? No. Example of making up a discontinuous process that satisfies i), ii) and iii). Let B(t) satisfy i), ii) and iii). Define a new process B (t) as B t except at s B s = 1 2 B s + 1 Normal 0, σ 2 s if Normal 0, σ 2 s is rational 2 0 otherwise Rational numbers are countable so P Normal 0, σ 2 s is rational = 0. B(t) and B (t) are the same almost surely. B (t) has properties i), ii) and iii) but is discontinuous at s. For a fixed sample point ω Ω, B(t; ω) is a function tracing the path of the process as time passes. B(t; ω) is called the sample path of the process B(t). Continuity of the sample path does nor follow from properties i), ii) and iii). Consider a process {B t : t 0} with standard deviation parameter σ and properties i), ii), iii) and iv) B(0; ω) = 0 and B(t; ω) is continuous for each ω Ω 0 such that P Ω 0 = 1. Existence of a process satisfying some properties is an issue. But it is already resolved for i), ii), iii), iv). There exists a process satisfying i), ii), iii), iv) and is called Brownian Process. Note this is the first reference to Brownian Process.
5 Any Other Property - Differentiability To Deduce or To Assume or To Refute Ex: For a given c > 0, B c (t) = B c2 t c is a derived process starting from Brownian process B(t). Does B c (t) satisfy i), ii), iii), iv)? i) B c (0) = B(0)/c = 0. ii) For r < s < t, B c (t) B c (s) = B(c 2 t)/c B(c 2 s)/c which is independent of B(c 2 r)/c = B c (r), i.e., B c (t) B c (s) B c (r). iii) B c (t) has the same distribution as B(c 2 t)/c Normal(0, c 2 tσ 2 )/c = Normal 0, tσ 2 B(t). iv) B(c 2 t; ω) is continuous almost surely and then B c (t; ω) = B(c 2 t; ω)/c is also continuous. Composition of continuous functions is continuous. Hence, B c (t) is a Brownian process with standard deviation parameter σ. B(t) and B c (t) are two versions of the same Brownian process; They are identical probabilistically. For a given c > 0, B nc t : t 0 : n = 1,2, is a sequence of identical Brownian processes B 2c t = B c c 2 t = B c4 t c c 2, B 3c t = B 2c c 2 t = B c6 t c c 3,, B nc t = B c2n t c n B nc is obtained by contracting time by a factor of c 2n and magnitude by c n. Ex: For c = n = 2, we have B 4 t = B(16t)/4 Slope of the derived process is 4 times the slope of the original process Slope of the derived = B 4 t B 16t B 16t = = 4 = 4 Slope of the original t 4t 16t Slope increases in the derived process by 4 = 2 2 = c n. Page 5
6 Differentiability Refuted Page 6 B 8c B 4c B 2c B(t) 0 time c = 2 B nc t has a slope that is c n times of the slope of B t. The slope of B nc around 0 is increasing without a bound as n increases B nc (t) is not differentiable around 0; B t is not differentiable around 0. Because of stationary increments, B t is not differentiable anywhere. Continuous but non-differentiable sample paths to model Particle movements» Stock prices
7 Simulation over [0, T] Page 7 Sampling iid sequence {Z i } of standard normal random variables Generate random walk X n X 0 = 0 and X n = n i=1 Z i for 1 n N σ X n N has Normal 0, σ2 n N σ X n N and B n N distribution has the same distribution Fill in the gaps between n n+1 and by N N interpolation, justified on the next page Hence, B(t) is defined for t n N. n+1 N. To simulate over [0,2], simulate [0,1] twice and concatenate sample paths
8 Interpolation Page 8 B(t)=v B(t)-B(s)=v-x v-u B(s)=x B(s)-B(r)=x-u B(r)=u (v-u)/(t-r) E(B(s) B(r)=u, B(t)=v) u+(s-r)(v-u)/(t-r) (s-r)(v-u)/(t-r) u r s r s t s t? v u t r s r t r E B s B r = u, B t = v = Brownian paths are self-similar s r t s v u v + u = u + (s r) t r t r t r
9 Hitting Times For a given constant a, the first time Brownian process reaches a is called hitting time τ a. Page 9 τ a B t Let us search for the cdf P(τ a t) of hitting time for a > 0 First note from conditioning that P(B t a) = P(B t a τ a t) P(τ a t) + P(B t a τ a > t)p(τ a > t) = P B t a τ a t P τ a t Because P B t a τ a > t = 0 Let us focus on the first term P B t a τ a t = P(B t a B(τ a ) = a, τ a t) = P(B t τ a a a = 0 B(τ a ) = a, τ a t) = 1 2» The first equality is from definition of τ a, the second is from stationary and independent increments, the third is from symmetry of Brownian process. These yield P τ a t = 2 P(B t a). Since B t Normal(0, σ 2 t), P τ a t = 2 P Normal 0, σ 2 t a = 2 P Normal 0,1 a σ t Because of the symmetry, P τ a t = P(τ a t). Hence, for a < 0 P τ a t = P τ a t = 2 P Normal 0, σ 2 t a In general, regardless of positive or negative a, P τ a t = 2 P Normal 0, σ 2 t a = 2 2π a/(σ t) exp x2 2 dx
10 Maximum of the Process Page 10 max B s s 0,t B t The maximum of the process over [0,t] is max s 0,t P max s 0,t B s a = P τ a t = 2 2π a/(σ t) B(s) and is nonnegative. Its tail probability is exp x2 2 dx. max s 0,t implies τ a t τ a t implies max B s a s 0,t Two events above are equivalent
