Detailed Description

Square-root stochastic-volatility Heston process.

This class describes the square root stochastic volatility process governed by \

Member Function Documentation

Disposable<Array> apply (const Array & x0, const Array & dx) const [virtual]

applies a change to the asset value. By default, it returns $ mathrm{x} + Delta mathrm{x} $.

Reimplemented from StochasticProcess.

Disposable<Array> evolve (Time t0, const Array & x0, Time dt, const Array & dw) const [virtual]

returns the asset value after a time interval $ Delta t $ according to the given discretization. By default, it returns \ where $ E $ is the expectation and $ S $ the standard deviation.

Reimplemented from StochasticProcess.

Reimplemented in BatesProcess.

Time time (const Date &) const [virtual]

returns the time value corresponding to the given date in the reference system of the stochastic process.

Note:

As a number of processes might not need this functionality, a default implementation is given which raises an exception.

Reimplemented from StochasticProcess.
