Calibrating Arbitrage-Free Stochastic Volatility Models by Relative Entropy Method
We develop a new framework to calibrate stochastic volatility option pricing models to an arbitrary prescribed set of prices of liquidly traded options. Our approach produces an arbitrage-free stochastic volatility di usion process that minimizes the distance to a prior di usion model. We use the notion of relative entropy (also known under the name of Kullback-Leibler distance) to quantify the...
متن کاملRelative Entropy Based Method for Global and Regional Sensitivity Analysis in Probabilistic Design
To overcome the limitations of existing variance-based methods for Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis (PSA) in design under uncertainty, a new PSA approach based on the concept of relative entropy is proposed. The relative entropy based method evaluates the impact of a random variable by measuring the divergence between two probability density functions of a response. The method can be applied ...
متن کاملA general probabilistic framework for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of deterministic models
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis are valuable tools for the assessment of model applications and several methods were developed in the last decades. However, the applicability of these methods is limited to scalar parameters and in many cases the analysis is still made by One-A-Time methods. These severely constrain the ability of a general assessment of the model in practical applications....
متن کاملAn Efficient Sensitivity Analysis Approach for Computationally Expensive Microscopic Traffic Simulation Models
Microscopic traffic simulators are useful tools for designing, evaluating and optimizing transportation systems. In order for a simulator to accurately describe reality, the corresponding traffic model must be properly calibrated. However, the calibration can be rather difficult when the model is computationally expensive and has many parameters. To overcome these difficulties, Sensitivity Anal...
