In this recipe, we have shown how to simulate stock prices using Geometric Brownian Motion. However, there are other stochastic processes that could be used as well, some of which are:

- Square-root diffusion model: Cox, John, Jonathan Ingersoll, and Stephen Ross (1985): A Theory of the Term Structure of Interest Rates. Econometrica, Vol. 53, No. 2, pp. 385–407.
