Stochastic Analysis of Stock Market Price Models: A Case Study of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE)
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In this paper, stochastic analysis of the behaviour of stock prices is considered using a proposed log-normal distribution model. To test this model, stock prices for a period of 19 years were taken from the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) for simulation, and the results reveal that the proposed model is efficient for the prediction of stock prices. Better accuracy of results via this model can be improved upon when the drift and the volatility parameters are structured as stochastic functions of time instead of constants parameters.
