“…In the plots in Figures 6-9, we provide the histograms corresponding to the first-exit time of the variables "exrate arg," "Gulf duenext10d," "gulf loaded post 7 days," and "Wtime santos," respectively, for the empirical dataset for various values of t. Along with the histograms, we use Gamma-type subordinators (Z) described with Lévy density w(x) = 𝜈𝛼e −𝛼x . After finding appropriate parameter values, in those plots, we plot the probability density functions of inf {s > 0 ∶ Z s ≥ t}, for various values of t. This is motivated by Theorem 2.5, and the analysis in [1]. In Figure 6 we use t = 1,2,4, and in Figure 7 we use t = 1,2,3,4.…”
