An Approximate Formula for Pricing American Options
An approximate formula for pricing American options along the lines of MacMillan [1986] and Barone-Adesi and Whaley [1987] is presented. This analytical approximation is as efficient as the existing ones, but it is remarkably more accurate. In particular, it yields good results for long maturity options for which the existing analytical ones fare poorly. It is also demonstrated that this approx...
متن کاملAn Approximate Formula for Multiple Integrals
A fifth degree approximate integration formula for hypercubes is constructed. If the integrand is a real function of n independent real variables and the integer number k satisfying the condition 1 ≤ k < n is given, then a 2 + (n k ) 2 + 1 point non–product quadrature is obtained. In the case n = 4, some comparative numerical examples are considered.
متن کاملAn approximate sampling formula under genetic hitchhiking
For a genetic locus carrying a strongly beneficial allele which has just fixed in a large population, we study the ancestry at a linked neutral locus. During this “selective sweep” the linkage between the two loci is broken up by recombination and the ancestry at the neutral locus is modeled by a structured coalescent in a random background. For large selection coefficients α and under an appro...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of the Density and Cumulative Distribution Function of the Generalized Rayleigh Distribution
The uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU), maximum likelihood, percentile (PC), least squares (LS) and weighted least squares (WLS) estimators of the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function are derived for the generalized Rayleigh distribution. This model can be used quite effectively in modelling strength data and also modeling general lifetime data. It has...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Comparison of Approximate Tolerance Intervals for the Poisson Distribution
The problem of finding tolerance intervals receives very much attention of researchers and are widely used in various statistical fields, including biometry, economics, reliability analysis and quality control. Tolerance interval is a random interval that covers a specified proportion of the population with a specified confidence level. In this paper, we compare approximate tolerance interva...
