H(t) = sum over tau_k <= t of J_k with (J_k, tau_k) drawn from a Poisson process carrying the beta-process Levy intensity. Building the path from its jumps rather than from grid increments is what makes the pure-jump, nondecreasing structure explicit – a beta process has no continuous part at all.

Usage

Ghosalbppathgen(c = 1.5, t_max = 1, n_jumps = 300, seed = 42)

Arguments

c

Concentration, positive.

t_max

Time horizon.

n_jumps

Number of jumps simulated.

seed

Seed for the deterministic draws.

Value

List with estimate (terminal value), n_jumps, pure_jump_nondecreasing, method.

Details

Formula: tau_k ~ U(0, t_max), J_k ~ Be(1, c) c 5 / n_jumps, and the path is the running total of the jumps in time order.
