We will approximate the distribution of moments when the random walk changes state through simulations.
First, we simulate many paths of Kendall random walk with normal step distribution.
library(kendallRandomWalks)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
set.seed(17)
walks <- simulate_kendall_rw(1000, 1000, rnorm, 0.5, T)
walks2 <- simulate_kendall_rw(1000, 1000, rcauchy, 0.5, T)
Example trajectory
plot(walks, max_id = 1)
plot(walks2, max_id = 1)
Number of unique states

Jumps
diffs <- mutate_kendall_rw(walks, function(x) x - lag(x), F)
plot(diffs, max_id = 1)
diffs2 <- mutate_kendall_rw(walks2, function(x) x - lag(x), F)
