    Financial,Economics

    Equation



    Latex Code

                Z(t) \sim N(0, t) \\
                Z(t+s) - Z(t) \sim N(0, s) \\
                Z(t+s) \sim N(Z(t), s)
            

    Explanation

    Latex code for the Standard Brownian Motion. I will briefly introduce the notations in this formulation. {Z(t)} has independent increments, and {Z(t)} has stationary increments such that Z (t + s) â?? Z (t) follows standard normal distribution

    • : Value of Z at time stamp t
    • : Stationary increments of Standard Brownian Motion
