Stochastic Kriging for Bermudan Option Pricing

We investigate three new strategies for the numerical solution of optimal stopping problems within the Regression Monte Carlo (RMC) framework of Longstaff and Schwartz. First, we propose the use of stochastic kriging (Gaussian process) meta-models for fitting the continuation value. Kriging offers a flexible, nonparametric regression approach that quantifies approximation quality. Second, we co...

Numerical algorithm for discrete barrier option pricing in a Black-Scholes model with stationary process

In this article, we propose a numerical algorithm for computing price of discrete single and double barrier option under the emph{Black-Scholes} model. In virtue of some general transformations, the partial differential equations of option pricing in different monitoring dates are converted into simple diffusion equations. The present method is fast compared to alterna...

Barrier Option Pricing

This thesis examines the performance of five option pricing models with respect to the pricing of barrier options. The models include the Black-Scholes model and four stochastic volatility models ranging from the single-factor stochastic volatility model first proposed by Heston (1993) to a multi-factor stochastic volatility model with jumps in the spot price process. The stochastic volatility ...
