Time since maximum of Brownian motion and asymmetric Levy processes

Abstract

Motivated by recent studies of record statistics in relation to strongly correlated time series, we consider explicitly the drawdown time of a Levy process, which is defined as the time since it last achieved its running maximum when observed over a fixed time period [0,T]. We show that the density function of this drawdown time, in the case of a completely asymmetric jump process, may be factored as a function of tt multiplied by a function of T-t. This extends a known result for the case of pure Brownian motion. We state the factors explicitly for the cases of exponential down-jumps with drift, and for the downward Inverse Gaussian Levy process with drift.
