Description
|
|
|
•
|
The Drift(X) calling sequence computes the drift term of an Ito process X. That is, given a process  governed by the stochastic differential equation (SDE)
|
the Drift command will return  .
|
•
|
The parameter X can be either a stochastic process or an expression involving stochastic variables. In the first case a Maple procedure is applied for computing the drift term. This procedure will accept two parameters: the value of the state variable and the time, and return the corresponding value of the drift. In the second case, Ito's lemma will be applied to calculate the drift term of X. Note that the Drift command will perform formal computations; the validity of these computations for a given function f will not be verified.
