Detailed Description

Markov functional state process class.

This class describes the process governed by

\[ dx = \sigma(t) e^{at} dW(t) \]

Member Function Documentation

◆ expectation()

Real expectation ( Time  t0,
Real  x0,
Time  dt 
) const
virtual

returns the expectation \( E(x_{t_0 + \Delta t} | x_{t_0} = x_0) \) of the process after a time interval \( \Delta t \) according to the given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.

Reimplemented from StochasticProcess1D.

◆ stdDeviation()

Real stdDeviation ( Time  t0,
Real  x0,
Time  dt 
) const
virtual

returns the standard deviation \( S(x_{t_0 + \Delta t} | x_{t_0} = x_0) \) of the process after a time interval \( \Delta t \) according to the given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.

Reimplemented from StochasticProcess1D.

◆ variance()

Real variance ( Time  t0,
Real  x0,
Time  dt 
) const
virtual

returns the variance \( V(x_{t_0 + \Delta t} | x_{t_0} = x_0) \) of the process after a time interval \( \Delta t \) according to the given discretization. This method can be overridden in derived classes which want to hard-code a particular discretization.

Reimplemented from StochasticProcess1D.
