Detailed Description

A simple stochastic variable.

This is the simplest stochastic process available. All stochastic processes which are not parametrised at every time step should inherit from this class. If you derive from this class, you must provide a prepareNextState() function, which sets stochNextValue by using stochCurrentValue.

Member Function Documentation

double StochasticVariable::d ( )
inline

Returns the increment at the current time step.

The difference of the protected variables stochNextValue - stochCurrentValue is returned.

double StochasticVariable::operator() ( )
inline

Returns the value at the current time step.

The content of the protected variable stochCurrentValue is returned.
