Recent advances in ambit stochastics with a view towards tempo-spatial stochastic volatility/intermittency
Volume 104 / 2015
Abstract
Ambit stochastics is the name for the theory and applications of ambit fields and ambit processes and constitutes a new research area in stochastics for tempo-spatial phenomena. This paper gives an overview of the main findings in ambit stochastics up to date and establishes new results on general properties of ambit fields. Moreover, it develops the concept of tempo-spatial stochastic volatility/intermittency within ambit fields. Various types of volatility modulation ranging from stochastic scaling of the amplitude, to stochastic time change and extended subordination of random measures and to probability and Lévy mixing of volatility/intensity parameters will be developed. Important examples for concrete model specifications within the class of ambit fields are given.
