I am interested in whether there is a general method to calculate the pdf of the integral of a stochastic process that is continuous in time.
My specific example: I am studying a stochastic given process given by
$X(t)=\int\limits_{0}^{t}\cos(B(s))\,\text{d}s$,
where $B(t)$ is the Wiener process, which is normally distributed over an interval of length $\tau$ with zero mean and variance $\tau$:
$B(t+\tau)-B(t)\sim\mathcal{N}(0, \tau)$.
I am able to calculate the first and second moments of $X(t)$, see: Expectation value of a product of an Ito integral and a function of a Brownian motion
A couple of thoughts on the matter:
1) Integrals of Gaussian continuous stochastic processes, such as the Wiener process can be considered as the limit of a sum of Gaussians and are hence themselves Gaussian. Since $\cos(B(s))$ is not Gaussian, this doesn't seem to help here.
2) If we can derive an expression for the characteristic function of the process $X(t)$, then we can theoretically invert this to obtain the pdf. The Feynman-Kac formula enables us to describe the characteristic function in terms of a PDE. If this PDE has a unique analytic solution then we can make use of this. In my specific example, this is not the case - the PDE obtained has no analytic solution. I can provide more detail on this point if required.
Many thanks for your thoughts.
