Brownian motion Y(t) has
independent increments: the
differences |
To illustrate this visually, we sample a Brownian motion simulation and compute increments |
We must take the ti so |
Then we plot the points |
If the increments are independent of one another, the points should lie in an approximately circular cloud, denser near the center. Here is an example plot. |
