Abstract
We introduce a broad family of generalised self-exciting point processes with CIR-type intensities, and develop associated algorithms for their exact simulation. The underlying models are extensions of the classical Hawkes process, which already has numerous applications in modelling the arrival of events with clustering or contagion effect in finance, economics and many other fields. Interestingly, we find that the CIR-type intensity together with its point process can be sequentially decomposed into simple random variables, which immediately leads to a very efficient simulation scheme. Our algorithms are also pretty accurate and flexible. They can be easily extended to further incorporate externally-excited jumps, or, to a multidimensional framework. Some typical numerical examples and comparisons with other well known schemes are reported in detail. In addition, a simple application for modelling a portfolio loss process is presented.
