All Implemented Interfaces:

ProcessModel

public class BlackScholesModel
extends AbstractProcessModel

This class implements a Black Scholes Model, that is, it provides the drift and volatility specification and performs the calculation of the numeraire (consistent with the dynamics, i.e. the drift). The model is \[ dS = r S dt + \sigma S dW, \quad S(0) = S_{0}, \] \[ dN = r N dt, \quad N(0) = N_{0}, \] The class provides the model of S to an MonteCarloProcess via the specification of \( f = exp \), \( \mu = r - \frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \), \( \lambda_{1,1} = \sigma \), i.e., of the SDE \[ dX = \mu dt + \lambda_{1,1} dW, \quad X(0) = \log(S_{0}), \] with \( S = f(X) \). See MonteCarloProcess for the notation.

Method Detail

getInitialState

public RandomVariable[] getInitialState(MonteCarloProcess process)

Description copied from interface: ProcessModel

Returns the initial value of the state variable of the process Y, not to be confused with the initial value of the model X (which is the state space transform applied to this state value.

Parameters:

Returns:

The initial value of the state variable of the process Y(t=0).

                                 RandomVariable[] realizationPredictor)

Description copied from interface: ProcessModel

This method has to be implemented to return the drift, i.e. the coefficient vector

dY_j = μ_j dt + λ_1,j dW₁ + ... + λ_m,j dW_m
in an m-factor model. Here j denotes index of the component of the resulting process. Since the model is provided only on a time discretization, the method may also (should try to) return the drift as \( \frac{1}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}} \int_{t_{i}}^{t_{i+1}} \mu(\tau) \mathrm{d}\tau \).

Parameters:

process - The discretization process generating this model. The process provides call backs for TimeDiscretization and allows calls to getProcessValue for timeIndices less or equal the given one.

Returns:

The drift or average drift from timeIndex to timeIndex+1, i.e. \( \frac{1}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}} \int_{t_{i}}^{t_{i+1}} \mu(\tau) \mathrm{d}\tau \) (or a suitable approximation).
