Based on criteria of mathematical simplicity and consistency with empirical market data, a stochastic volatility model is constructed, the volatility process being driven by fractional noise. Price return statistics and asymptotic behavior are derived from the model and compared with data....

The statistical properties of a stochastic process may be described (1) by the expectation values of the observables, (2) by the probability distribution functions or (3) by probability measures on path space. Here an analysis of level (3) is carried out for market fluctuation processes. Gibbs...

Based on the criteria of mathematical simplicity and consistency with empirical market data, a model with volatility driven by fractional noise has been constructed which provides a fairly accurate mathematical parametrization of the data. Here, some features of the model are reviewed and...
