Calculate E(Φ(Wt))\mathbb{E}\left(\Phi \left(W_t\right)\right) where WtW_t a brownian motion and Φ\Phi the standard normal cumulative distribution.

解析

由对称性 Wt=dWtW_t\overset{d}{=}-W_t

E[Φ(Wt)]=E[Φ(Wt)]=E[1Φ(Wt)]=1E[Φ(Wt)],\mathbb{E}[\Phi(W_t)]=\mathbb{E}[\Phi(-W_t)]=\mathbb{E}[1-\Phi(W_t)]=1-\mathbb{E}[\Phi(W_t)],

因此

E[Φ(Wt)]=12.\boxed{\mathbb{E}[\Phi(W_t)]=\frac12}.
