Brownian noise a white noise signal: meaning that Brownian motion is the integral of the white noise formula_2, whose power spectral density is flat: Note that here formula_4 denotes the Fourier transform, and formula_5 is a constant. An important property of this transform is that the derivative of any distribution transforms as from which we can conclude that the power spectrum of Brownian noise is Brown noise can be produced by integrating white noise. That is, whereas (digital) white noise can be produced by randomly choosing each sample independently, Brown noise can be produced by adding a random offset to each sample
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
