Details

- BrownianBridgeProcess is also known as pinned Brownian motion process.
- BrownianBridgeProcess is a continuous-time and continuous-state random process.
- The state
for a Brownian bridge process satisfies
and
.
- The state
follows NormalDistribution[a+(b-a) (t-t1)/(t2-t1),
].
- The parameters σ, t1, t2, a, and b can be any real numbers, with σ positive and t2 greater than t1.
- BrownianBridgeProcess can be used with such functions as Mean, PDF, Probability, and RandomFunction.
