More concepts to explore

  • Expectation

    Expectation is a probability-weighted average when defined; not every random variable has a finite expectation.

  • Geometric Brownian motion

    A multiplicative stochastic differential model keeps positive initial asset prices positive.

  • Poisson processes

    A homogeneous Poisson process counts events with stationary independent increments at a constant rate.

  • Renewal processes

    Independent identically distributed waiting times generate repeated renewal events.

  • Time value of money

    Discounting compares amounts at different dates under a specified rate model.
