Detailed Description
Variance gamma process.
This class describes the stochastic volatility process. With a Brownian motion given by
then a Variance Gamma process X is defined by evaluating this Brownian motion at sample times driven by a Gamma process. If T is the value of a Gamma process with mean 1 and variance rate then the Variance Gamma process is given by
