Predicting the Supremum: Optimality of ‘Stop at Once or Not at All’

Predicting the Supremum: Optimality of ‘Stop at Once or Not at All’

Let ( X t ) 0 ≤ t ≤ T be a one-dimensional stochastic process with independent and stationary increments, either in discrete or continuous time. In this paper we consider the problem of stopping the process ( X t ) ‘as close as possible’ to its eventual supremum M …
