Stable Lévy Process
Stable Lévy Process
This Demonstration shows the path of a symmetric stable Lévy process. Such a process has the property of "self-similarity" with Hurst exponent (where is the index of stability) and independent increments (unlike fractional Brownian motion, whose increments are not independent except in the case of Hurst exponent ). For , the stable Lévy process coincides with ordinary Brownian motion. In this Demonstration, you can vary the parameter between 0 and 2 and the vertical range of the plot to zoom in and out.
