Security Prices as Markov Processes
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore the relevance of the theory of Markov processes to the analysis of stock price movements.The present study was prompted by the work of Dryden [6], in which aggregate data on United Kingdom share prices were analyzed within a Markovian framework, and which indicated that it might be fruitful to apply the Markov model to more disaggregated data, specifically to individual stock price data.
