Pricing options and evaluating greeks under the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model require the computation of the noncentral chi-square distribution function. In this article, we compare the performance in terms of accuracy and computational time of alternative methods for computing such probability distributions against an xternally tested benchmark. In addition, we present closed-form solutions for c...
Compares the effect on population growth of envinonmental stochasticity (random environmental variations described by stochastic differential equations) with demographic stochasticity (random variations in births and deaths described by branching processes and birth-and-death processes), in the density-independent and the density-dependent cases.
A product rule and a chain rule for mean square derivatives are obtained using fourth order properties. Applications to the mean square solution of random differential equations are shown.
