Talk:Brownian bridge

Latest comment: 8 years ago by Irimias

There seems to be an error in obtaining the general brownian bridge W(t) from brownian motion B(t): the text says B(t) = W(t) - tW(T), but this doesn't satisfy B(T) = 0. Should this be B(t) = W(t) - tW(t)/T? (I've fixed this) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irimias (talkcontribs) 03:46, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I would expect the variance for the general brownian bridge W(T) between T1 and T2 to be (T-T1)(T2-T) / ((T2-T1)^2), rahter than / (T2-T1)

Any thoughts anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.42.51.27 (talkcontribs)

Correct. I've fixed it. Michael Hardy 18:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
I see someone reverted back and removed the square exponent, and I completely agree. Otherwise, notice that the variance in any would be always less that 0.25! --User:zeycus 11:36, 17 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
I incorporated a reference where this is proved. --User:zeycus 10:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Variance

edit

The general case variance does not agree with the most common example of a brownian bridge. Bt-tBt in the 0-1 interval. it seems to me that the variance for the general case should be (T-T0)(T1-T)^2/(T2-T1). it is possible to derive the variance of the general process using integration by parts, theorem 4.1.5 in oksendal.

Lévy bridge?

edit

Is there an analogue of the Brownian bridge, but for a Lévy flight? Albmont (talk) 20:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

simulation of a brownian bridge

edit

It would be nice if there was a comment on how one might simulate a Brownian bridge. Pdbailey (talk) 21:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

You have the distribution for any one point along the bridge, so you can simulate it recursively by first simulating one point in between the first pair, then you have two adjacent pairs and can simulate another two points for those two bridges, etc..

Intuitive Remarks

edit

This is really poorly written. I'm not sure what the second paragraph is trying to get across otherwise I'd try to edit it. Rewrite anyone? Ckhenderson (talk) 22:45, 31 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Independence?

edit

In the construction W(t) = B(t) + t Z, it doesn't say that Z must be independent of B. Could someone confirm that independence is required (or at least that certain dependencies are not allowed)? LachlanA (talk) 04:07, 16 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes indeed. This was a mistake. If B is a Brownian bridge, and W(t) = B(t) + t Z is a Brownian motion, then B(t) = W(t) - t W(1) is independent of W(1) = Z. So Z must be independent of B. Sorry to answer so late... --31.39.233.46 (talk) 14:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Is it a diffusion process?

edit

Is a Brownian bridge a diffusion process, using E.B. Dynkin's definition? If so, where is the proof? Robert O'Rourke (talk) 00:49, 12 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
