VoseTimeGBM(Mu,Sigma,LastValue,{TimeStamps},LogReturn)
Array
function that models a Geometric
Brownian Motion (GBM) time series model. GBM is usually the default
starting point for a time series of a non-negative financial variable
- like a stock price, exchange rate or interest rate. It assumes that
the fractional changes in the variable between periods are independent,
random variables following a Normal
distribution.
Mu - the percentage drift.
Sigma- the percentile volatility.
LastValue - last known historic value. The generated time series values will continue on from this value. Should only be provided if the LogReturn parameter is set to FALSE or omitted.
{TimeStamps} - array of time stamps. Needs to be the same size as the output array
LogReturn - Optional boolean parameter (TRUE/FALSE) specifying whether to return the actual time series (FALSE, default) or log returns (TRUE).
As the ModelRisk Time Series functions typically take a lot of parameters, we recommend for these in particular to use the Time Series window.
VoseTimeGBM - generates an array of random values from this time series.
VoseTimeGBMFit - generates an array of random values from this time series fitted to data.
VoseTimeGBMFitP - returns the parameters of this time series fitted to data.
