英文摘要:
Lognormal random variables appear naturally in many engineering disciplines, including wireless communications, reliability theory, and finance. So, too, does the sum of (correlated) lognormal random variables. Unfortunately, no closed form probability distribution exists for such a sum, and it requires approximation. Some approximation methods date back over 80 years and most take one of two approaches, either: 1) an approximate probability distribution is derived mathematically, or 2) the sum is approximated by a single lognormal random variable. In this research, we take the latter approach and review a fairly recent approximation procedure proposed by Mehta, Wu, Molisch, and Zhang (2007), then implement it using C++. The result is applied to a discrete time model commonly encountered within the field of financial economics.

中文摘要:
对数正态随机变量自然出现在许多工程学科中,包括无线通信、可靠性理论和金融。(相关)对数正态随机变量之和也是如此。不幸的是,这样一个和不存在封闭形式的概率分布,它需要近似。有些近似方法可以追溯到80多年前,大多数采用两种方法之一:1)从数学上推导近似概率分布,或2)用单个对数正态随机变量近似求和。在本研究中,我们采用后一种方法,回顾了Mehta、Wu、Molisch和Zhang(2007)提出的一个相当新的近似过程,然后使用C++实现它。这一结果应用于金融经济学领域中常见的离散时间模型。
