In finance, the Heston model, named after Steven Heston, is a mathematical model describing the evolution of the volatility of an underlying asset. It is a stochastic volatility model: such a model assumes that the volatility of the asset is not constant, nor even deterministic, but follows a random process. == Basic Heston model == The basic Heston model assumes that ''St'', the price of the asset, is determined by a stochastic process: : where , the instantaneous variance, is a CIR process: : and are Wiener processes (i.e., random walks) with correlation ρ, or equivalently, with covariance ρ dt. The parameters in the above equations represent the following: * μ is the rate of return of the asset. * θ is the long variance, or long run average price variance; as ''t'' tends to infinity, the expected value of ν''t'' tends to θ. * κ is the rate at which ν''t'' reverts to θ. * ξ is the volatility of the volatility, or vol of vol, and determines the variance of ν''t''. If the parameters obey the following condition (known as the Feller condition) then the process is strictly positive : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heston model」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
