Marginal Distribution of Brownian Motion
Stochastic Processes
Brownian Motion
Easy
Hint 1
Standard Brownian motion has independent, normally distributed increments starting from 0.
Hint 2
By definition for standard Brownian motion.
Show worked solution
1. Recall the defining property
Standard Brownian motion satisfies for every , since is a single increment over an interval of length .
2. Substitute t = 2
Setting gives the marginal distribution.
Answer: N(0,2)
