A Nonlinear Non - probabilistic Spot Interest Rate Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how to use ‘uncertainty’ in place of the more traditional Brownian ‘randomness’ to model a short-term interest rate. The advantage of this model is principally that it is difficult to show statistically that it is wrong. Whether the model is useful for pricing fixed-income products is less clear. We discuss the pros and cons of the model, showing how to price and hedge various contracts, saying which are easy and which are hard.

Pricing and Hedging Convertible Bonds Under Non-probabilistic Interest Rates
Two of the authors (DE and PW) recently introduced a non-probabilistic spot interest rate model. The key concepts in this model are the non-diffusive nature of the spot rate process and the uncertainty in the parameters. The model assumes the worst possible outcome for the spot rate path when pricing a fixed-income product. The model differs in many important ways from the traditional approache...
متن کاملBootstrapping Neural - Network Models of Exchange Rate
In this paper, we provide a framework to quantify a forecast of noisy financial time series through an interval prediction by integrating two computationally oriented methods, namely neural network and bootstrap. In particular, we develop parametric and non-parametric bootstrap cross-validation learning algorithms and apply them to a multi-layer feed-forward neural-network model of the spot Can...
متن کاملPricing of Futures Contracts by Considering Stochastic Exponential Jump Domain of Spot Price
Derivatives are alternative financial instruments which extend traders opportunities to achieve some financial goals. They are risk management instruments that are related to a data in the future, and also they react to uncertain prices. Study on pricing futures can provide useful tools to understand the stochastic behavior of prices to manage the risk of price volatility. Thus, this study eval...
متن کاملExtension of Cube Attack with Probabilistic Equations and its Application on Cryptanalysis of KATAN Cipher
Cube Attack is a successful case of Algebraic Attack. Cube Attack consists of two phases, linear equation extraction and solving the extracted equation system. Due to the high complexity of equation extraction phase in finding linear equations, we can extract nonlinear ones that could be approximated to linear equations with high probability. The probabilistic equations could be considered as l...
متن کاملLinear or Non-Linear: This is the Dilemma!
Estimation of the unknown drift and diffusion terms of a stochastic process representing the spot interest rate has received increased attention in the financial literature. In this brief paper, we analyze the performance of the two most popular non-parametric approaches to the problem, Sahalia’ s FGLS and Stanton’ s Taylor Expansion. An outright estimation of each of the proposed models to a s...
