Example 1
Each day a stock price
increases by $1 with probability 30%
stays the same with probability 50%
reduces by $1 with probability 20%

Example 1
Cada da, un precio de las acciones
aumenta en $ 1 con una probabilidad del 30%
sigue siendo el mismo con una probabilidad del 50%
reduce en $ 1 con una probabilidad del 20%

Example 2
Each day a stock price change is drawn from
a normal distribution with mean $0.2 and
standard deviation $1

Markov Processes (See pages 280-81)
In a Markov process future movements in a
variable depend only on where we are, not
the history of how we got to where we are
Is the process followed by the temperature
at a certain place Markov?
We assume that stock prices follow Markov
processes

Markov Processes (See pages 280-81)
En un proceso de Markov movimientos
futuros en una variable slo depende de
dnde estamos, no la historia de cmo
llegamos a donde estamos
Es el proceso seguido por la temperatura
en un determinado lugar de Markov?
Suponemos que las cotizaciones siguen los
procesos de Markov

This asserts that it is impossible to
produce consistently superior returns with
a trading rule based on the past history of
stock prices. In other words technical
analysis does not work.
A Markov process for stock prices is
consistent with weak-form market
efficiency
Weak-Form Market Efficiency
11
Forma dbil de eficiencia del mercado
Este afirma que es imposible producir
rendimientos consistentemente superiores con
una regla de comercio basado en la historia
pasada del precio de las acciones. En otras
palabras, el anlisis tcnico no funciona.
Un proceso de Markov para el precio de las
acciones es consistente con la debilidad de la
eficiencia del mercado de forma
12
Example
A variable is currently 40
It follows a Markov process
Process is stationary (i.e. the parameters of
the process do not change as we move
through time)
At the end of 1 year the variable will have a
normal probability distribution with mean 40
and standard deviation 10

13
Example
Una variable es del 40
Se sigue un proceso de Markov
Proceso es estacionario (es decir, los parmetros
del proceso no cambian a medida que avanzamos
en el tiempo)
Al final de un ao la variable tendr una
distribucin de probabilidad normal con media
desviacin estndar de 40 y 10
14
Variances & Standard Deviations
In Markov processes changes in
successive periods of time are independent
This means that variances are additive
Standard deviations are not additive
15
A Wiener Process (See pages 282-84)
Define |(,v) as a normal distribution with
mean and variance v

A variable z follows a Wiener process if
The change in z in a small interval of time At
is Az

The values of Az for any 2 different (non-
overlapping) periods of time are independent

(0,1) is where | c A c = A t z
16
Properties of a Wiener Process
Mean of [z (T ) z (0)] is 0
Variance of [z (T ) z (0)] is T
Standard deviation of [z (T ) z (0)] is T
17
Generalized Wiener Processes
(See page 284-86)
A Wiener process has a drift rate (i.e.
average change per unit time) of 0 and a
variance rate of 1
In a generalized Wiener process the drift
rate and the variance rate can be set equal
to any chosen constants
18

Mean change in x per unit time is a
Variance of change in x per unit time is

Taking Limits . . .
What does an expression involving dz and dt
mean?
It should be interpreted as meaning that the
corresponding expression involving Az and At
is true in the limit as At tends to zero
In this respect, stochastic calculus is
analogous to ordinary calculus
20
It Process (See pages 286)
In an It process the drift rate and the
variance rate are functions of time
dx=a(x,t) dt+b(x,t) dz
The discrete time equivalent

is true in the limit as At tends to
zero

21
Why a Generalized Wiener Process
Is Not Appropriate for Stocks
For a stock price we can conjecture that its
expected percentage change in a short period
of time remains constant (not its expected
actual change)
We can also conjecture that our uncertainty as
to the size of future stock price movements is
proportional to the level of the stock price
22
An Ito Process for Stock Prices
(See pages 286-89)

where is the expected return o is the
volatility.
The discrete time equivalent is

The process is known as geometric
Brownian motion

Monte Carlo Simulation
We can sample random paths for the stock
price by sampling values for c

Its Lemma (See pages 291)
If we know the stochastic process
followed by x, Its lemma tells us the
stochastic process followed by some
function G (x, t )
Since a derivative is a function of the
price of the underlying asset and time,
Its lemma plays an important part in
the analysis of derivatives
