1 Introduction

The ideas of using a Brownian motion process to explain thebehavior of the risky asset prices were presented by Black etal [1ndash3] The stock prices presented in the paper are also thetype in the risky asset pricesTherefore the Brownianmotionis usually used to model a stock price However Brownianmotion process has the independent increments propertyThis means that the present price must not affect the futureprice In fact the present stock price may influence the priceat some time in the future Hence Brownian motion processis not suitable to explain the stock price Another processa fractional Brownian motion process exhibits a long rangedependent propertyTherefore a fractional Brownianmotionprocess can be used to describe the behavior of stock priceinstead of Brownian motion process

The rate of return and volatility in general asset pricingmodel are usually the constant parameters Actually the rateof return and volatility in the model are not constant at anytime In the paper these parameters are updated dependingon time by using the new information

The ADVANC Info Service Public Company Limited(ADVANC) and Land and Houses Public Company Limited(LH) stock prices are considered in the paper These twostocks are chosen from different stock exchange of Thailand

(SET) industry groups The ADVANC and LH prices areselected from technology group (TECH) and property andconstruction group (PROPCON) respectively

The ADVANC and LH stock price models are studied byusing fractional Brownian motion process to explain uncer-tainly behavior instead of Brownian motion process TheBrownian motion model with adaptive parameters (BMAP)and the fractional Brownian motion model with adaptiveparameters (FBMAP) are presented to model the ADVANCand LH stock prices

The paper is organized as follows Preliminaries on afractional Brownian motion are given in Section 2 Theestimation of the rate of return and volatility is shown inSection 3 In Section 4 the BMAP and the FBMAP areexplained Finally Section 5 concludes the work in the paper

2 Preliminaries on a Fractional BrownianMotion Process

In the general accepted model the randomness of stockprice is modelled by Brownian motion process A stock priceprocess (119878

119905 119905 ge 0) is represented by the stochastic differential

equation (SDE) as shown in

119889119878119905= 119878119905(120583119889119905 + 120590119889119882

Note that the parameters 120583 and 120590 are the rate of returnand the volatility respectively The process (119882

119905 119905 ge 0) in

(1) is a standard Brownian motion process The stochasticdifferential equation (1) is driven by the Brownian motionprocess (119882

119905 119905 ge 0) In the real world 120583 and 120590 in (1) are not

constant at any time Hence these parameters in the paperare the adaptable parameters based on time In the papermodel (1) is called a Brownian motion model with adaptiveparameters (BMAP)

In practice the dynamics of stock price have a longmem-ory (long range dependence) The BMAP model in (1) is notsuitable to describe the dynamics of stock price Thereforethe fractional Brownian motion process is considered in thepaper The fractional Brownian motion process (119861119867

119905 119905 ge 0)

withHurst index119867 is a centeredGaussian process If119867 = 05then (119861119867

119905 119905 ge 0) is a standard Brownian motion process If

119867 = 05 then (119861119867119905 119905 ge 0) is neither a semimartingale nor a

Markov process For119867 = 05 case the (119861119867119905 119905 ge 0) is the long

memory process The (119861119867119905 119905 ge 0) is represented in (2) by

Mandelbrot and Van Ness [4] Consider the following

Γ (1 + 120572)[119885119905+ 119861119905] (2)

The function Γ(sdot) is the gamma functionThe process (119885119905 119905 ge

0) is defined by 119885119905= int0

120572minus (minus119904)

120572]119889119882119904 The process

(119861119905 119905 ge 0) is described by 119861

119905= int119905

0(119905 minus 119904)

120572119889119882119904 The parameter

120572 = 119867 minus 12 where 119867 isin (0 1) and (119882119905 119905 ge 0) is a standard

Brownian motion processThe rate of return and volatility are not constant at any

time Hence the paper also proposes the new approach of theasset pricingmodel In this case the driving process of model(1) is replaced by a fractional Brownian motion processThe rate of return and volatility are adaptive parameters Inthis case the model can be represented by the stochasticdifferential equation (SDE) as shown in

119889119878119905= 119878119905(120583119889119905 + 120590119889119861

119867

119905) (3)

The parameters 120583 and 120590 in (3) are the rate of return and thevolatility respectively The 120583 and 120590 are adaptive parametersthe same as the previousmodelThe (119861119867

119905 119905 ge 0) is a fractional

Brownian motion process In the paper model (3) is called afractional Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters(FBMAP)

Alos et al [5] have proposed to use the process (119861119905 119905 ge

0) instead of (119861119867119905 119905 ge 0) since (119885

119905 119905 ge 0) has absolutely

continuous trajectory So the process (119861119905 119905 ge 0) has long

range dependence Hence the model (3) can be consideredas shown in

119889119878119905= 119878119905(120583119889119905 + 120590119889119861

119905) (4)

An approximate approach to stochastic differential equa-tion perturbed by fractional Brownian motion was proposedby Thao [6] The process (119861120576

119905 119905 ge 0) is introduced For every

120576 gt 0 the process (119861120576119905 119905 ge 0) is defined by

119861120576

119905= int119905

(119905 minus 119904 + 120576)120572119889119882119904 (5)

The process (119861120576119905 119905 ge 0) is a semimartingale Therefore this

process can be written as in

119861120576

119905= 120572int

120593120576

119904119889119904 + 120576

where 120593120576119905= int119905

0(119905 minus 119904 + 120576)

120572minus1119889119882119904

The process (119861120576119905 119905 ge 0) converges to (119861

119905 119905 ge 0) in 1198712(Ω)

when 120576 approaches to 0 This convergence is uniform withrespect to 119905 isin [0 119879] Hence the model (4) can be consideredas shown in

119889119878119905= 119878119905(120583119889119905 + 120590119889119861

3 The Estimation of the Rate ofReturn and Volatility

In this paper the ADVANC and LH closed prices areidentified by two asset pricing models In the BMAP thedriving process is Brownian motion On the other handthe driving process is fractional Brownian motion in theFBMAPThe parameters 120583 and 120590 in both models are adaptiveparameters at any time The ADVANC and LH simulatedstock prices are compared with these empirical prices TheADVANC and LH empirical prices can be obtained fromhttpwwwsetorththindexhtml The data of ADVANCand LH empirical prices from July 9 2010 to July 8 2013 areused in the paperThese data are divided into two joint sets fortwo purposes The first set (July 9 2010ndashJuly 5 2013) is usedto estimate the drift rate and volatility The second set (July 82011ndashJuly 8 2013) is used for model validations

The rate of return and volatility contained in the BMAPand the FBMAP are adaptive parameters based on timeTherefore these parameters are not constant In this sectionthe rate of return and volatility of ADVANC and LH stockprices are estimated

The ADVANC and LH closed prices from July 9 2010 toJuly 5 2013 are used to estimate 120583

119895and 120590

119895by using (8) and

119894 and

119872 is the number of returns The parameters 120583119895and 120590

estimated by the set of data as shown in Figure 1 In this figurethe data from July 9 2010 to July 8 2011 are used to estimatethe initial 120583

It can be seen that the average and standard deviation ofARPE in case of 120572 = minus049 are the minimum in both stockprices (ADVANC and LH) Therefore 120572 = minus049 is chosenfor ADVANC and LH cases

5 Conclusion

Two asset pricing models are presented in the paper One isthe Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters calledBMAP and another one is the fractional Brownian motionmodel with adaptive parameters called FBMAP The rate ofreturn and volatility in both models are adaptive at any timeThe driven process in the BMAP is Brownian motion whilethe driven process in the FBMAP is a fractional Brownianmotion The BMAP and the FBMAP are applied to simulatetheADVANCand LH stock pricesThe simulated prices fromboth models are compared with the empirical prices Theaccuracy index ARPE is used in the paper From the 10000scenarios of simulated prices of each model the average andstandard deviation of ARPE from both models show that theFBMAP provides a better appropriateness with the datasetthan the BMAP in case of ADVANC and LH Therefore theFBMAP is suitable to predict the ADVANC and LH closedprices in the future

Note that the parameters 120583 and 120590 are the rate of returnand the volatility respectively The process (119882

119905 119905 ge 0) in

(1) is a standard Brownian motion process The stochasticdifferential equation (1) is driven by the Brownian motionprocess (119882

119905 119905 ge 0) In the real world 120583 and 120590 in (1) are not

constant at any time Hence these parameters in the paperare the adaptable parameters based on time In the papermodel (1) is called a Brownian motion model with adaptiveparameters (BMAP)

In practice the dynamics of stock price have a longmem-ory (long range dependence) The BMAP model in (1) is notsuitable to describe the dynamics of stock price Thereforethe fractional Brownian motion process is considered in thepaper The fractional Brownian motion process (119861119867

Brownian motion processThe rate of return and volatility are not constant at any

time Hence the paper also proposes the new approach of theasset pricingmodel In this case the driving process of model(1) is replaced by a fractional Brownian motion processThe rate of return and volatility are adaptive parameters Inthis case the model can be represented by the stochasticdifferential equation (SDE) as shown in

The parameters 120583 and 120590 in (3) are the rate of return and thevolatility respectively The 120583 and 120590 are adaptive parametersthe same as the previousmodelThe (119861119867

119905 119905 ge 0) is a fractional

Brownian motion process In the paper model (3) is called afractional Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters(FBMAP)

Alos et al [5] have proposed to use the process (119861119905 119905 ge

119905 119905 ge 0) has absolutely

continuous trajectory So the process (119861119905 119905 ge 0) has long

range dependence Hence the model (3) can be consideredas shown in

119889119878119905= 119878119905(120583119889119905 + 120590119889119861

An approximate approach to stochastic differential equa-tion perturbed by fractional Brownian motion was proposedby Thao [6] The process (119861120576

119905 119905 ge 0) is introduced For every

3 The Estimation of the Rate ofReturn and Volatility

In this paper the ADVANC and LH closed prices areidentified by two asset pricing models In the BMAP thedriving process is Brownian motion On the other handthe driving process is fractional Brownian motion in theFBMAPThe parameters 120583 and 120590 in both models are adaptiveparameters at any time The ADVANC and LH simulatedstock prices are compared with these empirical prices TheADVANC and LH empirical prices can be obtained fromhttpwwwsetorththindexhtml The data of ADVANCand LH empirical prices from July 9 2010 to July 8 2013 areused in the paperThese data are divided into two joint sets fortwo purposes The first set (July 9 2010ndashJuly 5 2013) is usedto estimate the drift rate and volatility The second set (July 82011ndashJuly 8 2013) is used for model validations

The rate of return and volatility contained in the BMAPand the FBMAP are adaptive parameters based on timeTherefore these parameters are not constant In this sectionthe rate of return and volatility of ADVANC and LH stockprices are estimated

The ADVANC and LH closed prices from July 9 2010 toJuly 5 2013 are used to estimate 120583

119895and 120590

119895by using (8) and

119894 and

It can be seen that the average and standard deviation ofARPE in case of 120572 = minus049 are the minimum in both stockprices (ADVANC and LH) Therefore 120572 = minus049 is chosenfor ADVANC and LH cases

5 Conclusion

Two asset pricing models are presented in the paper One isthe Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters calledBMAP and another one is the fractional Brownian motionmodel with adaptive parameters called FBMAP The rate ofreturn and volatility in both models are adaptive at any timeThe driven process in the BMAP is Brownian motion whilethe driven process in the FBMAP is a fractional Brownianmotion The BMAP and the FBMAP are applied to simulatetheADVANCand LH stock pricesThe simulated prices fromboth models are compared with the empirical prices Theaccuracy index ARPE is used in the paper From the 10000scenarios of simulated prices of each model the average andstandard deviation of ARPE from both models show that theFBMAP provides a better appropriateness with the datasetthan the BMAP in case of ADVANC and LH Therefore theFBMAP is suitable to predict the ADVANC and LH closedprices in the future

distributed random variable with mean = 0 and variance =1 It is generated by Box and Muller method

The MATLAB programming is also used to calculatethe ADVANC and LH closed prices in FBMAP For modelvalidation these simulated data are compared with theempirical prices on July 8 2011ndashJuly 8 2013 The accuracyindex in this case uses the average relative percentage error(ARPE) as calculated by (12)

421 Parameter Estimation The parameters 120572 for ADVANCand LH stock prices are the unknown values Therefore theestimation of these parameters is proposed in this sectionThe parameter 120572 is calculated by 120572 = 119867minus05 In this equation119867 is Hurst index and 0 lt 119867 lt 1 Hence minus05 lt 120572 lt 05Firstly 120572 is varied from minus05 to 05 with step size equal to01 However the parameter 120572 cannot be equal to minus05 or 05Therefore minus049 and 049 are used instead of minus05 and 05respectively The 10000 sample paths of Brownian motion

process are considered In each path the average relativepercentage error (ARPE) is computed using every value 120572The simulation results forADVANCandLH stock priceswith120572 varied from minus049 to 049 are addressed in Tables 1 and 2respectively

It can be seen that the average and standard deviation ofARPE in case of 120572 = minus049 are the minimum in both stockprices (ADVANC and LH) Therefore 120572 = minus049 is chosenfor ADVANC and LH cases

422 Model Validation For the simulation results usingthe FBMAP Figure 5 shows the empirical prices comparedwith the prices simulated by the FBMAP (7) with the samescenario of Brownianmotion of Figure 4 In Figure 5 the dateperiod to simulate the stock prices using FBMAP is betweenJuly 8 2011 and July 8 2013

5 Conclusion

Two asset pricing models are presented in the paper One isthe Brownian motion model with adaptive parameters calledBMAP and another one is the fractional Brownian motionmodel with adaptive parameters called FBMAP The rate ofreturn and volatility in both models are adaptive at any timeThe driven process in the BMAP is Brownian motion whilethe driven process in the FBMAP is a fractional Brownianmotion The BMAP and the FBMAP are applied to simulatetheADVANCand LH stock pricesThe simulated prices fromboth models are compared with the empirical prices Theaccuracy index ARPE is used in the paper From the 10000scenarios of simulated prices of each model the average andstandard deviation of ARPE from both models show that theFBMAP provides a better appropriateness with the datasetthan the BMAP in case of ADVANC and LH Therefore theFBMAP is suitable to predict the ADVANC and LH closedprices in the future
