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
Fractional Brownian motion Fractional Brownian motion In probability theory, fractional Brownian motion (fBm), also called a fractal Brownian motion, is a generalization of Brownian motion. Unlike classical Brownian motion, the increments of fBm need not be independent. fBm is a continuous-time Gaussian process "B"("t") on [0, "T"], which starts at zero, has expectation zero for all "t" in [0, "T"], and has the following covariance function: where "H" is a real number in (0, 1), called the Hurst index or Hurst parameter associated with the fractional Brownian motion. The Hurst exponent describes the raggedness of the resultant motion, with a higher value leading
