Detailed Description

Builds Wiener process paths using Gaussian variates.

This class generates normalized (i.e., unit-variance) paths as sequences of variations. In order to obtain the actual path of the underlying, the returned variations must be multiplied by the integrated variance (including time) over the corresponding time step.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BrownianBridge() [1/3]

BrownianBridge ( Size  steps)

The constructor generates the time grid so that each step is of unit-time length.

Parameters
stepsThe number of steps in the path

Definition at line 34 of file brownianbridge.cpp.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ BrownianBridge() [2/3]

BrownianBridge ( const std::vector< Time > &  times)

The step times are copied from the supplied vector

Parameters
timesA vector containing the times at which the steps occur. This also defines the number of steps that will be generated.
Note
the starting time of the path is assumed to be 0 and must not be included

Definition at line 43 of file brownianbridge.cpp.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ BrownianBridge() [3/3]

BrownianBridge ( const TimeGrid timeGrid)

The step times are copied from the TimeGrid object

Parameters
timeGrida time grid containing the times at which the steps will occur

◆ transform()

void transform ( RandomAccessIterator1  begin,

) const

Brownian-bridge generator function.

Transforms an input sequence of random variates into a sequence of variations in a Brownian bridge path.

Parameters
beginThe start iterator of the input sequence.
endThe end iterator of the input sequence.
outputThe start iterator of the output sequence.
Note
To get the canonical Brownian bridge which starts and finishes at the same value, the first element of the input sequence must be zero. Conversely, to get a sloped bridge set the first element to a non-zero value. In this case, the final value in the bridge will be sqrt(last time point)*(first element of input sequence).
