rcBS: Black-Scholes-Merton or geometric Brownian motion process conditional law

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function, and random generation for the conditional law $X(t) | X(0) = x_0$ of the Black-Scholes-Merton process also known as the geometric Brownian motion process.

Usage

dcBS(x, Dt, x0, theta, log = FALSE)
pcBS(x, Dt, x0, theta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) 
qcBS(p, Dt, x0, theta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rcBS(n=1, Dt, x0, theta)

Arguments

x

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

Dt

lag or time.

x0

the value of the process at time t; see details.

theta

parameter of the Black-Scholes-Merton process; see details.

n

number of random numbers to generate from the conditional distribution.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities $p$ are given as $\log(p)$.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x]<="" code="">; otherwise, P[X > x].

Value

• x
  a numeric vector

Details

This function returns quantities related to the conditional law of the process solution of $${\rm d}X_t = \theta_1 X_t {\rm d}t + \theta_2 X_t {\rm d}W_t.$$

Constraints: $\theta_3>0$.
