Robust Artificial Neural Networks for Pricing of European Options
نویسندگان
چکیده
The option pricing ability of Robust Artificial Neural Networks optimized with the Huber function is compared against those optimized with Least Squares. Comparison is in respect to pricing European call options on the S&P 500 using daily data for the period April 1998 to August 2001. The analysis is augmented with the use of several historical and implied volatility measures. Implied volatilities are the overall average, and the average per maturity. Beyond the standard neural networks, hybrid networks that directly incorporate information from the parametric model are included in the analysis. It is shown that the artificial neural network models with the use of the Huber function outperform the ones optimized with least squares.

This paper compares the performance of Black-Scholes with an artificial neural network (ANN) in pricing European style call options on the FTSE 100 index. It is the first extensive study of the performance of ANNs in pricing UK options, and the first to allow for dividends in the closed-form model. For out-of themoney options, the ANN is clearly superior to Black-Scholes. For in-the-money optio...

We compare the ability of the parametric Black and Scholes, Corrado and Su models, and Artificial Neural Networks to price European call options on the S&P 500 using daily data for the period January 1998 to August 2001. We use several historical and implied parameter measures. Beyond the standard neural networks, in our analysis we include hybrid networks that incorporate information from the ...
متن کاملApplication of ANN Technique for Interconnected Power System Load Frequency Control (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper describes an application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to Load Frequency Control (LFC) of nonlinear power systems. Power systems, such as other industrial processes, have parametric uncertainties that for controller design had to take the uncertainties in to account. For this reason, in the design of LFC controller the idea of robust control theories are being used. To improve ...
