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 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.
متن کاملLeast Squares Monte Carlo Approach to Convex Control Problems
Optimal control problems with convex functions are ubiquitous in applications of stochastic optimization. However, when applied in this context, the classical least squares Monte Carlo methodology makes no attempt to take advantage of this special structure: Given the convexity of value functions, it seems reasonable to search for the best least-squares fit among the elements of a cone of conve...
متن کاملPricing derivatives on graphics processing units using Monte Carlo simulation
This paper is about using the existing Monte Carlo approach for pricing European and American contracts on a state-of-the-art graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture. First, we adapt on a cluster of GPUs two different suitable paradigms of parallelizing random number generators, which were developed for CPU clusters. Because in financial applications, we request results within seconds of si...
