  • This paper discusses the pricing of autocallable structured product with knock-in (KI) feature using the exit probability with the Brownian Bridge technique. The explicit pricing formula of autocallable ELS derived in the existing paper handles the part including the minimum of the Brownian motion using the inclusion-exclusion principle. This has the disadvantage that the pricing formula is complicate because of the probability with minimum value and the computational volume increases dramatically as the number of autocall chances increases. To solve this problem, we applied an efficient and robust simulation method called the Brownian Bridge technique, which provides the probability of touching the predetermined barrier when the initial and terminal values of the process following the Brownian motion in a certain interval are specified. We rewrite the existing pricing formula and provide a brief theoretical background and computational algorithm for the technique. We also provide several numerical examples computed in three different ways: explicit pricing formula, the Crude Monte Carlo simulation method and the Brownian Bridge technique.

  • In this study, we present a fast option pricing method for four asset equity-linked securities (ELS) using Brownian bridge. The proposed method is based on Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and a Brownian bridge approach. Currently, three asset ELS is the most popular ELS among multi-asset ELSs. However, four asset ELS emerged as an alternative to three asset ELS under low interest rate environment to give higher coupon rate to investors. We describe in detail the computational solution algorithm for the four underlying asset step-down ELS. The numerical tests confirm the accuracy and speed of the method.

  • Shapiro and Wilk (1972) developed a test for exponentiality with origin and scale unknown. The procedure consists of comparing the generalized least squares estimate of scale with the estimate of scale given by the sample variance. However the test statistic is inconsistent. Kim(2001) proposed a modified Shapiro-Wilk's test statistic based on the ratio of tow asymptotically efficient estimates of scale. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the statistic using the approximation of the quantile process by a sequence of Brownian bridges and represent the limit null distribution as an integral of a Brownian bridge.

  • The problem of detecting change with independent data is considered. The asymptotic distribution of the sample change process with the sample Fourier coefficients is shown as a Brownian Bridge process. We suggest to use dynamic statistics such as a sample Brownian Bridge and graphs as statistical animation. Graphs including change PP plots are given by way of illustration with the simulated data.

  • In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the residual empirical process from diffusion processes. For this task, adopting the discrete sampling scheme as in Florens-Zmirou [9], we calculate the residuals and construct the residual empirical process. It is shown that the residual empirical process converges weakly to a Brownian bridge.

  • In this paper, we study the divergence based goodness of fit test for partially observed sample from diffusion processes. In order to derive the limiting distribution of the test, we study the asymptotic behavior of the residual empirical process based on the observed sample. It is shown that the residual empirical process converges weakly to a Brownian bridge and the associated phi-divergence test has a chi-square limiting null distribution.

  • In this paper the parameter change problem in the stationary time series is considered. We propose a cumulative sum (CUSUM) of squares-type test statistic for detection of parameter changes in the AR(1) process. The proposed test statistic is based on the CUSIM of the squared observations and is shown to converge to a standard Brownian bridge. Simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed statistic and a real example is provided to illustrate the procedure.

  • In this paper we consider the problem of parameter change based on the cusum test proposed by Lee et al. (2003). The cusum test statistic is constructed utilizing the estimator minimizing density-based divergence measures. It is shown that under regularity conditions, the test statistic has the limiting distribution of the sup of standard Brownian bridge. Simulation results demonstrate that the cusum test is robust when there arc outliers.

  • In this paper, we consider the problem of testing for a parameter change in nonlinear time series models with GARCH type errors. We introduce two types of cumulative sum (CUSUM) tests: estimates-based and residual-based tests. It is shown that under regularity conditions, their limiting null distributions are the sup of independent Brownian bridges. A simulation study is conducted for illustration.

  • This paper considers the problem of testing a variance change in infinite order autoregressive models. A cusum of squares test based on the residuals from an AR(q) model is constructed analogous to Inclan and Tiao (1994)'s test statistic, where q is a sequence of positive integers diverging to $\infty$. It is shown that under regularity conditions the limiting distribution of the test statistic is the sup of a standard Brownian bridge. Simulation results are given to illustrate the performance of the test.
