HWVF: Creating Flow of Hull-White/Vasicek (HWV) Gaussian Diffusion Models

Description

Simulation flow of the Hull-White/Vasicek or gaussian diffusion models.

Usage

HWVF(N, M, t0, T, x0, theta, r, sigma, output = FALSE)

Arguments

N

size of process.

M

number of trajectories.

t0

initial time.

T

final time.

x0

initial value of the process at time t0.

theta

constant (theta is the long-run equilibrium value of the process and r*(theta -X(t)) :drift coefficient).

r

constant positive (r is speed of reversion and r*(theta -X(t)):drift coefficient).

sigma

constant positive (sigma (volatility) :diffusion coefficient).

output

if output = TRUE write a output to an Excel (.csv).

Value

• data.frame(time,x) and plot of process.

Details

The Hull-White/Vasicek (HWV) short rate class derives directly from SDE with mean-reverting drift: $$dX(t)=r\ast (theta-X(t))\ast dt+sigma\ast dW(t)$$ With r *(theta- X(t)) :drift coefficient and sigma : diffusion coefficient, W(t) is Wiener process, the discretization dt = (T-t0)/N. The process is also ergodic, and its invariant law is the Gaussian density.

Examples

## flow of Hull-White/Vasicek Models
## dX(t) = 4 * (2.5 - X(t)) * dt + 1 *dW(t)
 HWVF(N=1000,M=10,t0=0,T=1,x0=10,theta=2.5,r=4,sigma=1)
## if theta = 0 than "OUF" = "HWVF"
## dX(t) = 4 * ( 0 - X(t)) * dt + 1 *dW(t)
 system.time(HWVF(N=1000,M=10,t0=0,T=1,x0=10,theta=0,r=4,sigma=1))
 system.time(OUF(N=1000,M=5,t0=0,T=1,x0=10,r=4,sigma=1))
