On a probability space , a standard one-dimensional Brownian motion is a real-valued stochastic process with almost surely, continuous sample paths almost surely, and independent increments, such that
Here the second parameter is the variance. Thus its Brownian increments have the normal distribution with mean zero and variance equal to elapsed time. Equivalently, relative to a specified filtration , require to be an adapted process and to be independent of with this normal distribution. Taking the natural Brownian filtration recovers the first definition.
