In mathematical finance, the stochastic volatility jump (SVJ) model is suggested by Bates.
[1] This model fits the observed implied volatility surface well.
The model is a Heston process for stochastic volatility with an added Merton log-normal jump.
It assumes the following correlated processes: where S is the price of security, μ is the constant drift (i.e. expected return), t represents time, Z1 is a standard Brownian motion, q is a Poisson counter with density λ.
