random - Boundary condition for stochastic differential equation


I have a simple stochastic differential equation (SDE) with white noise:


mysde[q_, I_, n0_, sd_] := 
ItoProcess[

\[DifferentialD]n[t] ==
( I - q n[t]) \[DifferentialD]t + sd \[DifferentialD]w[t], n[t],
{n, n0}, t, w \[Distributed] WienerProcess[]]

I want to impose a condition that n[t] cannot fall below zero. At below zero, or an arbitrarily low value of n[t], it is considered zero. I am not sure how to implement this in the ItoProcess function and/or in the numerical solution:


sol[q_, I_, n0_, sd_] := RandomFunction[mysde[q, I, n0, sd], {0, 100, 0.1}, 1]

The variable drops below zero many times, which is not a desired behaviour:


With[{q = 2, I = 0.1, n0 = 1, sd = 0.1}, 
Show[ListLinePlot[sol[q, I, n0, sd]], ImageSize -> 400]]


What are some ways to implement such a condition?


I have tried various functions on n[t] within the ItoProcess[], to attempt to re-set negative values of n[t] to zero, like If[], Max[], Clip[], and Piecewise[] to no avail. Any reasons why these functions do not dynamically work within the solver?


Also is there a way to extract the values of the noise, w[t], in a particular simulated path of the temporal data timeseries object?


One potential solution, which is not confirmed to be correct, is to write the equation for the log of my variable, ln[t] and to use the Geometric Brownian motion random process formulation, obtaining:


logsde[q_, I_, ln0_, sd_] := 
ItoProcess[
\[DifferentialD]ln[t] ==
( I - q ln[t] - sd^2/2) \[DifferentialD]t + sd \[DifferentialD]w[t], ln[t],
{ln, ln0}, t, w \[Distributed] GeometricBrownianMotionProcess[I - q ln[t], sd, n0]]


logsol[q_, I_, ln0_, sd_] := RandomFunction[logsde[q, I, ln0, sd], {0, 100, 0.1}, 1]

Then I extract the simulated values, and exponentiate them to obtain the time series or path in the original scale:


td = With[{q = 0.1, I1 = 0.1, ln0 = 1, sd = .1}, 
logsol[q, I1, ln0, sd]];
ListLinePlot[Exp[td["States"]]]

However I have lost the stochastic signal in this model; the simulation smooths out and looks continuous with no noise, except at the beginning of the simulation. This is obviously an incorrect formulation. What did I do here? How might I formulate this properly?


Are there other approaches?



So overall I have three questions:



  1. How to implement a boundary condition in ItoProcess[] for one of the state variables?

  2. How to recover the simulated values of the random variable? <- self-answered below

  3. How to properly specify a log-transformed version of the ItoProcess[]?

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
