Skew-Normal Diffusions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a class of scalar Markovian diffusion processes whose transition probability densities behave as skewed Gaussian distributions. Their stochastic dynamics involve nonlinear and time-dependent drifts driven by White Gaussian noise sources. The drifts are obtained via generalized h-transforms of a class of local martingales. We can alternatively represent this class of processes as dynamic censoring models with partial observability and time-dependent correlations, which can be used as a skewness-inducing noise source for any diffusion process. We prove the invariance of our class of skew-Normal processes under linear transformations. We extend our results to Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusions.
