rcCIR {sde}

Conditional law of the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the conditional law X(t+D_t) | X(t)=x_0 of the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process.

Usage

dcCIR(x, Dt, x0, theta, log = FALSE)
pcCIR(x, Dt, x0, theta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) 
qcCIR(p, Dt, x0, theta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rcCIR(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 Ornstein-Uhlenbeck 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]; otherwise P[X > x].

Details

This function returns quantities related to the conditional law of the process solution of

{\rm d}X_t = (\theta_1-\theta_2 X_t){\rm d}t + \theta_3\sqrt{X_t}{\rm d}W_t.

Constraints: 2\theta_1> \theta_3^2, all \theta positive.

Value

x

a numeric vector
