Pricing Bounds for VIX Derivatives via Least Squares Monte Carlo
Derivatives on the Chicago Board Options Exchange volatility index (VIX) have gained significant popularity over the last decade. The pricing of VIX derivatives involves evaluating the square root of the expected realised variance which cannot be computed by direct Monte Carlo methods. Least squares Monte Carlo methods can be used but the sign of the error is difficult to determine. In this pap...
متن کاملAdaptive importance sampling in least-squares Monte Carlo algorithms for backward stochastic differential equations
We design an importance sampling scheme for backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) that minimizes the conditional variance occurring in least-squares Monte Carlo (LSMC) algorithms. The Radon-Nikodym derivative depends on the solution of BSDE, and therefore it is computed adaptively within the LSMC procedure. To allow robust error estimates with respect to the unknown change of measu...
متن کاملGradient-based Sampling: An Adaptive Importance Sampling for Least-squares
In modern data analysis, random sampling is an efficient and widely-used strategy to overcome the computational difficulties brought by large sample size. In previous studies, researchers conducted random sampling which is according to the input data but independent on the response variable, however the response variable may also be informative for sampling. In this paper we propose an adaptive...
متن کاملAssessing Least Squares Monte Carlo for the Kulatilaka Trigeorgis General Real Options Pricing Model
We assess the applicability of (Longstaff and Schwartz, 2001) Least Squares Monte Carlo method (LSMC) to the General Real Options Pricing Model of (Kulatilaka and Trigeorgis, 1994) (KT). We propose some moment matching methods to get comparable results from KT model under different underlying stochastic processes for both LSMC and multivariate lattice methods. We study LSMC under different stoc...
متن کاملrlsm: R package for least squares Monte Carlo
This short paper briefly describes the implementation of the least squares Monte Carlo method in the rlsm package. This package provides users with an easy manner to experiment with the large amount of R regression tools on any regression basis and reward functions. This package also computes lower and upper bounds for the true value function via duality methods.
