Jump process

Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-001942

A stochastic process characterized by sudden, discontinuous changes or 'jumps' in its value, rather than smooth, continuous movements. In finance and insurance, jump processes are used to model phenomena like sudden market crashes, catastrophic losses, or unexpected changes in interest rates. They are often combined with continuous processes to capture both gradual and abrupt changes.
