dcKessler: Approximated conditional law of a diffusion process by Kessler's method

Description

Approximated conditional densities for \(X(t) | X(t_0) = x_0\) of a diffusion process.

Usage

dcKessler(x, t, x0, t0, theta, d, dx, dxx, s, sx, sxx, 
          log=FALSE)

Value

x

a numeric vector

Arguments

x

vector of quantiles.

t

lag or time.

x0

the value of the process at time t0; see details.

t0

initial time.

theta

parameter of the process; see details.

log

logical; if TRUE, probabilities \(p\) are given as \(\log(p)\).

d

drift coefficient as a function; see details.

dx

partial derivative w.r.t. x of the drift coefficient; see details.

dxx

second partial derivative wrt x^2 of the drift coefficient; see details.

s

diffusion coefficient as a function; see details.

sx

partial derivative w.r.t. x of the diffusion coefficient; see details.

sxx

second partial derivative w.r.t. x^2 of the diffusion coefficient; see details.

Details

This function returns the value of the conditional density of \(X(t) | X(t_0) = x_0\) at point x.

All the functions d, dx, dxx, dt, s, sx, and sxx must be functions of t, x, and theta.
