MATLAB: How to get mu and sigma from data

brownian motion

I need to get mu and sigma from the data I have. But it needs to be mu and sigma from Brownian motion. How do I get a mu and sigma for Brownian motion only with data?

Best Answer

mu and sigma don't necessarily mean anything unless you describe what you actually want from your data. Based on the wiki article for Brownian Motion I can assume you mean standard deviation, sigma, and mean, mu, which are commonly used in describing normal distributions. From a dataset, X, you can use":
mu = mean(X);
sigma = std(X);
To determine the mu and sigma of the distribution.
