DBridge {sde}R Documentation

Simulation of diffusion bridge

Description

Simulation of diffusion bridge.

Usage

DBridge(x=0, y=0, t0=0, T=1, delta, drift, sigma, ...)

Arguments

x

initial value of the process at time t0.

y

terminal value of the process at time T.

t0

initial time.

delta

time step of the simulation.

drift

drift coefficient: an expression of two variables t and x.

sigma

diffusion coefficient: an expression of two variables t and x.

T

final time.

...

passed to the sde.sim function.

Details

The function returns a trajectory of the diffusion bridge starting at x at time t0 and ending at y at time T.

The function uses the sde.sim function to simulate the paths internally. Refer to the sde.sim documentation for further information about the argument “...

Value

X

an invisible ts object
