"yuima.law": From mathematical representation of general Lévy processes to a numerical implementation
[ Abstract ]
We present a new class called yuima.law that refers to the mathematical description of a general Lévy process used in the formal definition of a general Stochastic Differential Equation. The final aim is to have an object, defined by the user, that contains all possible information about the Lévy process considered. This class creates a link between YUIMA and other R packages available on CRAN that manage specific Lévy processes.

An example of yuima.law is shown based the Mixed Tempered Stable(MixedTS) Lévy processes. A review of the univariate MixedTS is given and some new results on the asymptotic tail behaviour are derived. The multivariate version of the Mixed Tempered Stable, which is a generalisation of the Normal Variance Mean Mixtures, is discussed. Characteristics of this distribution, its capacity in fitting tails and in capturing dependence structure between components are investigated.
