Alan White and I spent the next two or three years working together on this. We developed what is known a stochastic volatility model. This is a model where the volatility as well as the underlying asset price moves around in an unpredictable way. ↗

Songs come from all over the place. You can't predict what you're going to like. You might like something that doesn't fit right now.
