Brownian bridge of the Brownian bridge based on the Brownian motion is, for "t" ∈ [0, T] Conversely, for "t" ∈ [0, ∞] The Brownian bridge may also be represented as a Fourier series with stochastic coefficients, as where formula_9 are independent identically distributed standard normal random variables (see the Karhunen–Loève theorem). A Brownian bridge is the result of Donsker's theorem in the area of empirical processes. It is also used in the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test in the area of statistical inference. A standard Wiener process satisfies "W"(0) = 0 and is therefore "tied down" to the origin, but other points are not
Geometric Brownian motion above: formula_27. import numpy as np import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt mu=1 n=50 dt=0.1 x0=100 x=pd.DataFrame() np.random.seed(1) for sigma in np.arange(0.8,2,0.2): x.columns=np.arange(0.8,2,0.2) plt.plot(x) plt.legend(x.columns) plt.xlabel('t') plt.ylabel('X') plt.title('Realizations of Geometric Brownian Motion with different variances\n mu=1') plt.show() GBM can be extended to the case where there are multiple correlated price paths. Each price path follows the underlying process where the Wiener processes are correlated such that formula_31 where formula_32. For the multivariate case, this implies that Geometric Brownian motion is used to model stock prices in the Black–Scholes model and is the most widely used model of stock
