About CIR process

I just see a paper 'A decomposition of Bessel bridges' by Pitman, J. and Yor, M. might be helpful. In this paper, the Bessel bridge is decomposed into some processes that might be easy to simulate.

About CIR process

Let [$]R_{t}[$] be the CIR process at time [$]t[$]. I want to calculate the expectation $$E(R_{t}|R_{T})$$ conditional on [$]R_{T}[$] and [$]R_{0}[$] , where [$]t<T[$]. Then, is there a good way to calculate it?

Richardson extrapolation method

Still a question: can we use the random samples, such as the normal rv, from the fine dt mesh for the rough dt mesh ? It seems in the literature that the simulation on the fine dt mesh and on the rough dt mesh are completely independent.

Richardson extrapolation method

<t>I have a problem about whether one can allow some dependence when using Richardson extrapolation method.Consider the Euler scheme for the numerical solution of a SDE with the Richardson extrapolation: Let [$]X_{T}(h)[$] be the numerical approximation of [$]X_{T}[$], the solution of a SDE at time ...

PhD degree for mathematical finance

<t>I am a PhD student doing research in mathematical finance, specifically, numerical SDEs in derivative pricing. However, in my department, there is no degree called PhD in mathematical finance, but instead, I can either choose the degree PhD in mathematics or PhD in acturial science. I don't know ...

Have you received paper rejection with rather aggressive comments?

Thanks for your encouragement. It is not realistic to expect every report to be gentle, and all I can do is to try to make my work better. Please delete this post if necessary.

Have you received paper rejection with rather aggressive comments?

<t>Hi, I am confused whether you have a similar experience. I received the rejection letter for my first paper submitted to a reputated journal. After a long time wating, to my suprise, the reviewer's comments look very aggressive and emotional for me. The review report is only one-page, but none of...

Journal reputation in applied probability

Thanks for your suggestion. This journal looks pretty nice. I like the journals with long histories, whose reputations are build for a long time.

<r>Alan, sorry for my late response. I tried the formula from Carr and Madan (1999) for ATM option, but only replace FFT with simpson' rule. The result I calculate is quite strange, with complex number. I checked my code many times, but still cannot find out what goes wrong. I would thanks a lot if ...
