StochasticProcessSimulator 0.1.3

A package for simulating and plotting stochastic processes using discretization of SDEs.

SDEs

• Pip Repository

• Simulating SDEs using Euler discretization.

• Euler scheme does not require derivatives, but Milstein and Runge-Kutta discretization schemes do...

• StochasticProcessSimulator.py script can be used to obtain paths from the desired SDE/process.

• The main function of interest is StochasticProcessSimulator() which produces the paths and includes the options of plotting and recording execution time(s).

• READ_ME_SPS.txt describes all of the function arguments and their default settings.

• Simulating_SDEs_Euler_all_plots.ipynb shows an example of how this function can be used to produce plots of all the types of SDEs.

• Simulating_SDEs_Euler_simple_examples.ipynb (versions 1-4 of notebook) shows some simple examples of how this function can be used to produce stylized plots...

• NB: In StochasticProcessSimulator(), 'kCorrelatedGBMs' and 'kCorrelatedBMs' are implemented without the option of producing plots...

• 3dBMCube.ipynb and 3dBMSphere.ipynb are two examples demonstrating how StochasticProcessSimulator() can be integrated with more specific plotting requirements to produce plots of 3d BM paths constrained to a cube and sphere, respectively.

Installation

StochasticProcessSimulator is available on pypi and can be installed as follows

pip install StochasticProcessSimulator

Dependencies

StochasticProcessSimulator relies on

• numpy for random number generation and math functions,
• scipy and statsmodels for support for some specific distributions,
• matplotlib for creating visualisations.

Quick-Start

StochasticProcessSimulator allows you to simulate and plot paths from different stochastic processes in a simple way.

For instance, the following code

from StochasticProcessSimulator import StochasticProcessSimulator as SPS
simulator = SPS(
            process_type='GBM', do_plot=True)
paths = simulator.simulate()

produces the following output:

Future work:

• add handling of parameter inputs that break validity conditions...
• add Milstein and Runge-Kutta discretization schemes...
• add more SDEs/processes...
• This is a very rough implementation, and there are lots of improvements to be made. Any suggestions and improvements are welcome and appreciated.
