The Poisson Process
The Poisson Process
This Demonstration shows sample trajectories of a Poisson process—a fundamental example of a stochastic process with discontinuous trajectories, which is used as a building block for constructing jump processes that play an important role in modern financial modeling. You can vary the intensity of the jumps, the duration, whether the trajectories should be connected, and whether an ordinary Poisson process or a "compensated" one should be displayed.
