ts_brownian_motion: Brownian Motion

Description

Create a Brownian Motion Tibble

Usage

ts_brownian_motion(
  .time = 100,
  .num_sims = 10,
  .delta_time = 1,
  .initial_value = 0,
  .return_tibble = TRUE
)

Value

A tibble/matrix

Arguments

.time

Total time of the simulation.

.num_sims

Total number of simulations.

.delta_time

Time step size.

.initial_value

Integer representing the initial value.

.return_tibble

The default is TRUE. If set to FALSE then an object of class matrix will be returned.

Details

Brownian Motion, also known as the Wiener process, is a continuous-time random process that describes the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid. It is named after the physicist Robert Brown, who first described the phenomenon in 1827.

The equation for Brownian Motion can be represented as:

W(t) = W(0) + sqrt(t) * Z

Where W(t) is the Brownian motion at time t, W(0) is the initial value of the Brownian motion, sqrt(t) is the square root of time, and Z is a standard normal random variable.

Brownian Motion has numerous applications, including modeling stock prices in financial markets, modeling particle movement in fluids, and modeling random walk processes in general. It is a useful tool in probability theory and statistical analysis.
