Package Overview

The package Sim.DiffProc is an object created in the R provide functions useful to simulating of (multidimensional) stochastic differential equations (SDE’s), and statistically analyze the diffusion process solution of SDE’s; the project was officially launched in September 2010 and is under active development by the authors. The current feature set of the package can be split in more main categories: Computing the stochastic integrals of Ito or Stratonovich type. Simulation SDE’s and diffusion bridge of Ito or Stratonovich type, with different methods. Random number generators (RN’s) to generate SDE’s. First-passage-time (f.p.t) in SDE’s. Estimate drift and diffusion parameters using pseudo-maximum likelihood estimators of 1-dim SDE’s. Displaying an object inheriting from a class of SDE’s.

The package includes the following functions:

1. snssde - Simulations and models for SDE’s.
2. rsde - Random number generators for SDE’s.
3. fptsde - First passage time for SDE’s.
4. fitsde - Estimation of 1-Dim SDE.

Documentation

It is a requirement of the R packaging system that every function and data set in a package has a help page. The Sim.DiffProc package follows this requirement strictly. In addition to the help pages, the package includes vignettes and demonstration scripts;

help(Sim.DiffProc)
vignette(package = "Sim.DiffProc")

and

demo(package = "Sim.DiffProc")

Collaboration and citation

Obviously, the package leaves many other fields of stochastic modeling with Ito and Stratonovich SDE’s untouched. For this situation to change, we hope that experts in their field will join their efforts to ours and contribute code to the Sim.DiffProc project. The project will continue to grow and improve by the authors to the community of developers and users.
