Jump process

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

This article needs attention from an expert in statistics. The specific problem is: the article lacks a definition, illustrative examples, but is of importance (Poisson process, Lévy process). WikiProject Statistics may be able to help recruit an expert. (December 2013)

A jump process is a type of stochastic process that has discrete movements, called jumps, with random arrival times, rather than continuous movement, typically modelled as a simple or compound Poisson process.^[1]

In finance, various stochastic models are used to model the price movements of financial instruments; for example the Black–Scholes model for pricing options assumes that the underlying instrument follows a traditional diffusion process, with continuous, random movements at all scales, no matter how small. John Carrington Cox and Stephen Ross^[2]^{: 145–166} proposed that prices actually follow a 'jump process'.

Robert C. Merton extended this approach to a hybrid model known as jump diffusion, which states that the prices have large jumps interspersed with small continuous movements.^[3]
