摘要:
In this paper we present an explicit form of the distribution function of the occupation time of a Brownian motion with a constant drift (if there is no drift, this is the well-known arc-sine law). We also define the alpha-percentile of the stock price and give an explicit form of the distribution function of this random variable. Using this explicit distribution, we calculate the price of a new type of path-dependent option, called the alpha-percentile option. This option was first introduced by Miura and is based on order statistics.
