Modeling Market Prices Using Stochastic Processes

Estimated Time: 58 min

Course Level: Advanced

Summary

This video talks about the modeling of stock prices, portfolios, index returns, bonds, option prices, exchange rates and conditional risk using stochastic processes such as the ARCH process, vector-valued time series, the ARMA model, Chen's model, the Ito process and Merton jump diffusion. In doing so, it shows that the Wolfram Language contains a complete collection of stochastic processes and statistical distributions that can be fitted to a wide array of market phenomena.
