Geometric Brownian motion

Here is a function that produces standard Brownian motion using NumPy. This is also known as a Wiener Process.



In [3]:

    
def brownian(maxt, n):
    """Return one realization of a Brownian (Wiener) process with n steps and a max time of t."""
    t = np.linspace(0.0,maxt,n)
    h = t[1]-t[0]
    Z = np.random.normal(0.0,1.0,n-1)
    dW = np.sqrt(h)*Z
    W = np.zeros(n)
    W[1:] = dW.cumsum()
    return t, W

Call the brownian function to simulate a Wiener process with 1000 steps and max time of 1.0. Save the results as two arrays t and W.



In [4]:

    
t, W =brownian(1.0,1000)



In [5]:

    
assert isinstance(t, np.ndarray)
assert isinstance(W, np.ndarray)
assert t.dtype==np.dtype(float)
assert W.dtype==np.dtype(float)
assert len(t)==len(W)==1000

Visualize the process using plt.plot with t on the x-axis and W(t) on the y-axis. Label your x and y axes.



In [6]:

    
plt.plot(t, W)

In [7]:

    
assert True # this is for grading

Use np.diff to compute the changes at each step of the motion, dW, and then compute the mean and standard deviation of those differences.



In [8]:

    
dW=np.diff(W)

print dW.mean()

print dW.std()

In [9]:

    
assert len(dW)==len(W)-1
assert dW.dtype==np.dtype(float)

Write a function that takes $W(t)$ and converts it to geometric Brownian motion using the equation:

$$ X(t) = X_0 e^{((\mu - \sigma^2/2)t + \sigma W(t))} $$

Use Numpy ufuncs and no loops in your function.



In [16]:

    
import math
def geo_brownian(t, W, X0, mu, sigma):
    "Return X(t) for geometric brownian motion with drift mu, volatility sigma."""
    
    a = (mu-(sigma**2)/2)*t +(sigma)*W
    b = X0*(np.exp(a))
    return (t, b)



In [17]:

    
assert True # leave this for grading

Use your function to simulate geometric brownian motion, $X(t)$ for $X_0=1.0$, $\mu=0.5$ and $\sigma=0.3$ with the Wiener process you computed above.

Visualize the process using plt.plot with t on the x-axis and X(t) on the y-axis. Label your x and y axes.



In [19]:

    
q, r = geo_brownian(t, W,1.0,0.5,0.3)

plt.plot(q, r)
