What's the difference between stochastic and random? There is an anecdote about the notion of stochastic processes. They say that when Khinchin wrote his seminal paper "Correlation theory for stationary stochastic processes", this did not go well with Soviet authorities. The reason is that the notion of random process used by Khinchin contradicted dialectical materialism. In diamat, all ...
Stochastic Calculus for Finance I: Binomial asset pricing model and Stochastic Calculus for Finance II: tochastic Calculus for Finance II: Continuous-Time Models. These two books are very good if you want to apply the theory to price derivatives. Stochastic Differential Equations: An Introduction with Applications Bernt Oksanda.
If the stochasticity involved in the system, we can use two type of models: continuous-time stochastic processes or discrete-time stochastic processes. Since the time-series data is discrete, it seems very natural to model the processes in discrete-time.
0 I've recently started self-studying stochastic processes. However i have yet to really understand intuitively what a stochastic process really is. From my understanding a stochastic process is (losely) defined as a family of stochastic variables, and where all of these stochastic variables are defined on the same sample space $\Omega$.
