Wat is First-passage time?

Ook bekend als: hitting time

Definition 2.6 Quantitative Methods · Hoofdstuk 2 — Brownian Motion

For a level bb, the first-passage time (or hitting time) of a continuous process XX is τb=inf⁡{t≥0:Xt=b}\tau_b = \inf\{t \ge 0 : X_t = b\}; it is a stopping time.

The reflection principle. After the first passage at b, the path (solid) and its mirror image in b (dashed) are equally likely continuations, so every path that ends below b after touching it is paired with one that ends above. Data: a seeded path of the tutorial.
