For example dS = µSdt + σSdW + JSdq Here ∆q = t+∆t dq t is given by with probability λ∆t with probability (1 − λ)∆t ∆q = 1 = 0 q is a Poisson process and λ is called the intensity. Thus if the rare event occurs, then S jumps a fraction J > 0 of its value, while otherwise there is no effect. If we wish to

Moving-average model In time series analysis, the moving-average (MA) model is a common approach for modeling univariate time series models. The notation MA(q) refers to the moving average model of order q: where μ is the mean of the series, the θ1, ..., θq are the parameters of the model and the εt, εt−1,... are white noise error terms. The value of q is called the order of the MA model. That is, a moving-average model is conceptually a linear regression of the current value of the series
