This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monte Carlo approach has proved to be a valuable and flexible computational tool in modern finance. A number of Monte Carlo simulation-based methods have been developed within the past years to address the American option pricing problem. The aim of this book is to present and analyze three famous simulation algorithms for pricing American style derivatives: the stochastic tree; the stochastic mesh and the least squares method (LSM). The author first presents the mathematical descriptions underlying these numerical methods. Then the selected algorithms are tested on a common set of problems in order to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each approach as a function of the problem characteristics. The results are compared and discussed on the basis of estimates precision and computation time. Overall the simulation framework seems to work considerably well in valuing American style derivative securities. When multi-dimensional problems are considered, simulation based methods seem to be the best solution to estimate prices since the general numerical procedures of finite difference and binomial trees become impractical in these specific situations.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we propose the optimum weighting scheme for pricing American options under a local volatility model. American options are priced under the constant elasticity of variance volatility model using Monte Carlo simulation. The residuals obtained from regression were heteroscedastic. For spot prices deep out-of-the-money, alternate weighting methods were found to provide improved accuracy over ordinary least squares. For spot prices deep in-the-money, the residuals were also heteroscedastic, however, the number of residuals present in the regression dominated and ordinary least squares provided improved accuracy. Generalised least squares was found to proved the most accurate overall weighting method.

Download or read book Least Squares Monte Carlo and Quasi Monte Carlo Method in Pricing American Put Options Using Matlab written by Phuc Phan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, we evaluate the use of the Least Squares Monte Carlo (LSM) method, which was proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz in 2001. The holder of an American option has the right to exercise the option anytime, which makes the option much more difficult to price compared to a European style option. LSM is a simple and powerful method to price American style options and utilizes the use of least squares to estimate the conditional expected payoff to the option holder from continuation value. I provide a simple version of the LSM algorithm using second degree polynomials as basis functions with working code in Matlab to price American put option. I illustrate how the model is affected when input parameter such as risk free interest rate, volatility, underlying stock price, time to maturity are perturbed. After that, I construct the quasi Monte Carlo version of the Least Square algorithm by using Halton sequence and compare the performance of both quasi Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo algorithm.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impressive Handbook presents the quantitative techniques that are commonly employed in empirical finance research together with real-world, state-of-the-art research examples. Written by international experts in their field, the unique approach describes a question or issue in finance and then demonstrates the methodologies that may be used to solve it. All of the techniques described are used to address real problems rather than being presented for their own sake, and the areas of application have been carefully selected so that a broad range of methodological approaches can be covered. The Handbook is aimed primarily at doctoral researchers and academics who are engaged in conducting original empirical research in finance. In addition, the book will be useful to researchers in the financial markets and also advanced Masters-level students who are writing dissertations.

Book excerpt: An in-depth guide to understanding probability distributions and financial modeling for the purposes of investment management In Financial Models with Lévy Processes and Volatility Clustering, the expert author team provides a framework to model the behavior of stock returns in both a univariate and a multivariate setting, providing you with practical applications to option pricing and portfolio management. They also explain the reasons for working with non-normal distribution in financial modeling and the best methodologies for employing it. The book's framework includes the basics of probability distributions and explains the alpha-stable distribution and the tempered stable distribution. The authors also explore discrete time option pricing models, beginning with the classical normal model with volatility clustering to more recent models that consider both volatility clustering and heavy tails. Reviews the basics of probability distributions Analyzes a continuous time option pricing model (the so-called exponential Lévy model) Defines a discrete time model with volatility clustering and how to price options using Monte Carlo methods Studies two multivariate settings that are suitable to explain joint extreme events Financial Models with Lévy Processes and Volatility Clustering is a thorough guide to classical probability distribution methods and brand new methodologies for financial modeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article follows in the footsteps of Longstaff and Schwartz' seminal article about the use of regressions to model expectations in the valuation of American options with Monte Carlo simulation. The article repeats the original American put pricing in order to check for estimation accuracy and computation speed.In addition the article investigates the use of the control variate technique in order to accelerate the Least Squares Monte Carlo simulation, and implements a way to get the delta sensitivity without much raising the response time. However the results underline what is believed to be the main impediment of the approach: the cost of accuracy. Performed in dimension one on a standard computer the simulations lead to conclude that pricing an option agrave; la Longstaff Schwartz is not advised when the option is simple enough to be valued with a recombining binomial tree. Indeed the response times of the binomial pricing are incomparably shorter. Moreover the standard error proposed by the method under study is not reliable both in theory and in practice. There remains a mere conjecture according to which when increasing significantly the number of trajectories then convergence to the true price is reached and the estimated standard error is negligible. But, due to the involved pathwise regressions, such an increase would lengthen considerably the response time.Finally hope comes from computer improvements, especially in the memory field. In the least resource-consuming cases running the simulation with much more trajectories on a recent computer ends up yielding the true prices with no surrounding uncertainty and in a reasonable time. Hence, for similar pricings, one can expect to rely on the estimated standard error to tell when the simulation has converged.
