Integrated Gaussian forward-rate process
ID: integrated-gaussian-forward-rate-process
For a centered Gaussian forward-rate field with covariance , integrate the short-rate past and the current forward curve together using the displayed mean-square integral. Its variance isFor fixed , its increments are independent of the full earlier forward-rate filtration: their covariance with at is the integral of . Use the uncorrelated jointly Gaussian variables are independent principle first for finite collections and then for their generated sigma-algebra. With , this centered process starts at zero.
