We will then examine how SDEs, in conjunction with econometric models, can be employed to forecast the prices of futures contracts for agricultural commodities, such as corn. Our approach models price fluctuations in these contracts using an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model with Fourier terms, integrated with stochastic processes to capture the Samuelson effect. To achieve this, we introduce an additional volatility term that varies with time-to-execution, which is explained through the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, also known as the mean-reversion process. As we delve into more advanced topics, we will discuss quantitative functional inequalities for specific classes of SDEs with degenerate noise, known as hypoelliptic SDEs. These include the reverse log-Sobolev inequality and Wang-type Harnack inequality, which provide deeper insights into the solutions of SDEs. # 유튜브 스트리밍 예정입니다.
