+# Double Heston Calibration
+
+This tutorial covers calibration of the
+[DoubleHeston][quantflow.sp.heston.DoubleHeston] model to an implied volatility
+surface. The Double Heston model drives a single log-price with two independent
+CIR variance processes, each with its own mean-reversion speed, long-run variance,
+vol-of-vol, and spot-variance correlation:
+
+\begin{align}
+    d x_t &= \sqrt{v^1_t}\,d w^1_t + \sqrt{v^2_t}\,d w^3_t \\
+    d v^i_t &= \kappa_i (\theta_i - v^i_t) dt + \nu_i \sqrt{v^i_t}\,d w^{2i}_t
+\end{align}
+
+Because the two components are independent, the characteristic exponent is the sum
+of the two individual Heston exponents, so no additional quadrature is needed.
+
+## Motivation
+
+A single Heston process produces a smile that flattens as $T \to 0$ (the smile
+roughly scales as $\sigma\sqrt{T}$). Adding a second, faster-mean-reverting process
+gives the model an extra degree of freedom to independently control the short-term
+and long-term smile shapes without adding jumps.
+
+The parameterisation enforces $\kappa_1 > \kappa_2$: the first process is the
+short-maturity driver (fast mean-reversion) and the second is the long-maturity
+driver (slow mean-reversion).
+
+## Calibration
+
+[DoubleHestonCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.DoubleHestonCalibration]
+fits ten parameters jointly using the same two-stage optimisation as
+[HestonCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.HestonCalibration]
+(L-BFGS-B followed by trust-region reflective), but with a warm start that
+initialises each process independently:
+
+1. **Warm start**: fits a single Heston model to the long-dated options (ttm above
+   the median) to initialise `heston2`, then fits a single Heston model to the
+   short-dated options to initialise `heston1`.
+2. **Stage 1**: L-BFGS-B on the ten-parameter joint cost function, with a Feller
+   penalty applied independently to both variance processes.
+3. **Stage 2**: trust-region reflective on the residual vector with tight tolerances
+   and parameter bounds.

+![Double Heston calibrated smile](../assets/examples/double_heston_calibrated_smile.png)
+
+## Adding Jumps: Double HestonJ
+
+The pure diffusion Double Heston still struggles at the very short end because both
+variance processes share the same $O(\sqrt{T})$ smile scaling. Adding a jump component
+to the short-maturity process `heston1` restores an $O(T)$ contribution at small $T$
+and gives the model the flexibility to match steep short-term skews.
+
+[DoubleHestonJCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.DoubleHestonJCalibration]
+extends the Double Heston calibration by attaching a compound Poisson jump process
+(with a [DoubleExponential][quantflow.utils.distributions.DoubleExponential] jump
+distribution) to `heston1` and adding the jump parameters to the optimisation vector.
+The warm start fits a full
+[HestonJCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.HestonJCalibration] to the
+short-dated options so the jump parameters are also initialised before the joint fit.

+applyTo: '/docs/tutorials/**,/docs/examples/**'

+
+
+
+# Tutorial Instructions
+
+## File locations
+
+- Tutorial pages: `docs/tutorials/<name>.md`
+- Example scripts: `docs/examples/<name>.py`
+- Generated images: `docs/assets/examples/<name>.png`
+- Script stdout captured to: `docs/examples/output/<name>.out`
+- Every new tutorial must be added to the `nav` section of `mkdocs.yml` under `Tutorials`.
+- Update `docs/tutorials/index.md` with a row in the summary table.
+
+## Building
+
+- Build a single example: `uv run python docs/examples/<name>.py`
+- Build all examples and capture output: `make docs-examples`
+- Preview the docs locally: `uv run mkdocs serve`
+
+## Tutorial page structure
+
+Each tutorial markdown file should follow this order:
+
+1. **H1 title** — the subject, not "Tutorial on X".
+2. **One-paragraph introduction** — what the tutorial demonstrates and why it is useful.
+   Link to the relevant API classes using `[ClassName][fully.qualified.path]`.
+3. **Sections** (H2) — cover the concept first, then show usage, then show results.
+   Use H3 subsections for variants (different parameter regimes, maturities, etc.).
+4. **Code section** — always the last H2. Embed the full example script with:
+   ````
+   ```python
+   --8<-- "docs/examples/<name>.py"
+   ```
+   ````
+   If the script prints structured output, embed it too:
+   ````
+   ```
+   --8<-- "docs/examples/output/<name>.out"
+   ```
+   ````
+
+## Example scripts
+
+- Each script must be self-contained and runnable with `uv run python docs/examples/<name>.py`.
+- Place shared helpers in `docs/examples/_utils.py` — do not duplicate utility code.
+- Use `assets_path(filename)` from `_utils.py` to get the correct path when saving images.
+- Use `plotly` for all charts. Save to PNG with `fig.write_image(assets_path(...), width=900, height=500)`.
+  Use `width=1600, height=800` for side-by-side subplot layouts.
+- When overlaying an analytical curve with a numerical result (e.g. PDF from characteristic
+  function), plot the analytical result as a solid line and the numerical result as circle
+  markers (`mode="markers", marker=dict(symbol="circle")`). This makes the discretization
+  points visible and the two series easy to distinguish.
+- Do not `print` raw numbers — emit only what belongs in the captured `.out` file.
+- Scripts must produce no warnings when run cleanly (fix the root cause, e.g. avoid `x=0`
+  in domains where the PDF is singular).
+- The `build_examples` helper in `_utils.py` runs every non-underscore script and captures
+  stdout; keep scripts idempotent and deterministic.
+
+## Charts
+
+- Embed images with a clickable link that opens full-size in a new tab:
+  ```markdown
+  [![Alt text](../assets/examples/<name>.png)](../assets/examples/<name>.png){target="_blank"}
+  ```
+- Write a one-sentence caption above each image explaining what the reader should observe.
+
+## Math
+
+Follow the math conventions in `copilot-instructions.md`:
+
+- Use `\begin{equation}...\end{equation}` for standalone formulas.
+- Use `\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}...\end{aligned}\end{equation}` for multi-line systems.
+- Use `$...$` only for brief inline variable references.
+- Use `\Phi` for the characteristic function and `\phi` for the characteristic exponent.
+
+## Cross-references
+
+- Link API symbols with `[ClassName][fully.qualified.module.ClassName]`.
+- Link to theory pages with relative markdown links: `[Option Pricing](../theory/option_pricing.md)`.
+- Link to the glossary for concept definitions rather than re-defining them inline.
+- Link to the bibliography for external references: `[Carr-Madan](../bibliography.md#carr_madan)`.
+
+## What not to include
+
+- Do not explain implementation details that belong in docstrings.
+- Do not reproduce equations already in the API reference — link to them instead.
+- Do not add a summary or "next steps" section unless the tutorial is part of a series.
+- Do not use math notation (`$...$`, `\begin{equation}`, etc.) in any heading (H1–H4).
+  Math does not render in the table of contents — write headings in plain English instead
+  (e.g. "Short horizon" not "Short horizon ($t = 0.5$)").

+# CIR Process
+
+This tutorial shows how to use the
+[CIR][quantflow.sp.cir.CIR] (Cox-Ingersoll-Ross) model and validates
+the analytical [marginal PDF][quantflow.sp.cir.CIR.analytical_pdf] against
+the PDF recovered from the [characteristic function][quantflow.sp.cir.CIR.characteristic_exponent].
+
+## The model
+
+The CIR process is a mean-reverting square-root diffusion with three parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `kappa` | Mean-reversion speed |
+| `theta` | Long-run mean |
+| `sigma` | Volatility of volatility |
+| `rate` | Initial value $x_0$ |
+
+```python
+from quantflow.sp.cir import CIR
+
+cir = CIR(kappa=2.0, theta=0.5, sigma=0.8, rate=1.0)
+print(cir.feller_condition)   # positive: process stays strictly positive
+print(cir.is_positive)
+```
+
+The process stays strictly positive when the Feller condition holds:
+
+\begin{equation}
+    2\kappa\theta \geq \sigma^2
+\end{equation}
+
+## Analytical moments
+
+The marginal distribution at time $t$ has closed-form mean and variance,
+accessible via the [marginal][quantflow.sp.cir.CIR.marginal]:
+
+```python
+m = cir.marginal(1.0)
+print(m.mean())       # analytical mean
+print(m.variance())   # analytical variance
+```
+
+## PDF comparison
+
+The marginal PDF has two independent routes to the same result:
+
+* **Analytical**: the [scaled non-central chi-squared][quantflow.sp.cir.CIR.analytical_pdf]
+  transition density in closed form.
+* **Characteristic function**: numerical inversion of $\Phi = e^{-\phi}$ via
+  [pdf_from_characteristic][quantflow.utils.marginal.Marginal1D.pdf_from_characteristic].
+
+The charts below overlay both for a CIR process with
+$\kappa=1$, $\theta=0.5$, $\sigma=0.8$, $x_0=3$, starting well above the long-run mean
+to make the mean-reversion clearly visible across time horizons.
+
+### Short horizon
+
+At $t = 0.5$ the distribution is still centred near the initial value $x_0$:
+
+[![CIR PDF t=0.5](../assets/examples/cir_pdf_t05.png)](../assets/examples/cir_pdf_t05.png){target="_blank"}
+
+### Long horizon
+
+At $t = 2.0$ the distribution has mean-reverted toward $\theta = 0.5$ and the
+inversion shows visible oscillations:
+
+[![CIR PDF t=2.0](../assets/examples/cir_pdf_t20.png)](../assets/examples/cir_pdf_t20.png){target="_blank"}
+
+The oscillations are a Gibbs phenomenon. The CIR density has a cusp at the
+origin: near $x = 0$ it grows as $x^{q/2}$ where $q = 2\kappa\theta/\sigma^2 - 1$.
+When $q < 1$ the characteristic function decays algebraically as $u^{-(1+q/2)}$
+rather than exponentially. For these parameters $q \approx 0.56$, so the
+integral is still non-negligible when it gets truncated.
+
+At $t = 0.5$ the mean is nearly three standard deviations from zero, so the cusp
+is invisible and the inversion is accurate. By $t = 2$ the process has drifted
+to within 1.4 standard deviations of the origin and the cusp affects the result.
+
+For CIR with $q < 1$ the analytical PDF is the right tool. The inversion is
+confirmed by the characteristic function plot below.
+
+## Characteristic function
+
+The plot below shows $|\Phi(u)|$ and $\text{Re}[\Phi(u)]$ at $t=2$. The
+magnitude is still around $0.05$ at the truncation point, confirming that the
+integral is cut off before it decays to zero:
+
+[![CIR characteristic function t=2.0](../assets/examples/cir_cf_t20.png)](../assets/examples/cir_cf_t20.png){target="_blank"}

-# Double Heston Calibration
-
-This tutorial covers calibration of the
-[DoubleHeston][quantflow.sp.heston.DoubleHeston] model to an implied volatility
-surface. The Double Heston model drives a single log-price with two independent
-CIR variance processes, each with its own mean-reversion speed, long-run variance,
-vol-of-vol, and spot-variance correlation:
-
-\begin{align}
-    d x_t &= \sqrt{v^1_t}\,d w^1_t + \sqrt{v^2_t}\,d w^3_t \\
-    d v^i_t &= \kappa_i (\theta_i - v^i_t) dt + \nu_i \sqrt{v^i_t}\,d w^{2i}_t
-\end{align}
-
-Because the two components are independent, the characteristic exponent is the sum
-of the two individual Heston exponents, so no additional quadrature is needed.
-
-## Motivation
-
-A single Heston process produces a smile that flattens as $T \to 0$ (the smile
-roughly scales as $\sigma\sqrt{T}$). Adding a second, faster-mean-reverting process
-gives the model an extra degree of freedom to independently control the short-term
-and long-term smile shapes without adding jumps.
-
-The parameterisation enforces $\kappa_1 > \kappa_2$: the first process is the
-short-maturity driver (fast mean-reversion) and the second is the long-maturity
-driver (slow mean-reversion).
-
-## Calibration
-
-[DoubleHestonCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.DoubleHestonCalibration]
-fits ten parameters jointly using the same two-stage optimisation as
-[HestonCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.HestonCalibration]
-(L-BFGS-B followed by trust-region reflective), but with a warm start that
-initialises each process independently:
-
-1. **Warm start**: fits a single Heston model to the long-dated options (ttm above
-   the median) to initialise `heston2`, then fits a single Heston model to the
-   short-dated options to initialise `heston1`.
-2. **Stage 1**: L-BFGS-B on the ten-parameter joint cost function, with a Feller
-   penalty applied independently to both variance processes.
-3. **Stage 2**: trust-region reflective on the residual vector with tight tolerances
-   and parameter bounds.

-![Double Heston calibrated smile](../assets/examples/double_heston_calibrated_smile.png)
-
-## Adding Jumps: Double HestonJ
-
-The pure diffusion Double Heston still struggles at the very short end because both
-variance processes share the same $O(\sqrt{T})$ smile scaling. Adding a jump component
-to the short-maturity process `heston1` restores an $O(T)$ contribution at small $T$
-and gives the model the flexibility to match steep short-term skews.
-
-[DoubleHestonJCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.DoubleHestonJCalibration]
-extends the Double Heston calibration by attaching a compound Poisson jump process
-(with a [DoubleExponential][quantflow.utils.distributions.DoubleExponential] jump
-distribution) to `heston1` and adding the jump parameters to the optimisation vector.
-The warm start fits a full
-[HestonJCalibration][quantflow.options.heston_calibration.HestonJCalibration] to the
-short-dated options so the jump parameters are also initialised before the joint fit.
