Convergence of the Least Squares Monte Carlo Approach to American Option Valuation
In a recent paper Longstaff & Schwartz (2001) suggest a method to American option valuation based on simulation. The method is termed the Least Squares Monte-Carlo (LSM) method, and although it has become widely used not much is known about the properties of the estimator. This paper corrects this shortcoming using theory from the literature on seminonparametric series estimators. A central par...
متن کاملrlsm: R package for least squares Monte Carlo
This short paper briefly describes the implementation of the least squares Monte Carlo method in the rlsm package. This package provides users with an easy manner to experiment with the large amount of R regression tools on any regression basis and reward functions. This package also computes lower and upper bounds for the true value function via duality methods.
متن کاملLeast Squares Monte Carlo Approach to Convex Control Problems
Optimal control problems with convex functions are ubiquitous in applications of stochastic optimization. However, when applied in this context, the classical least squares Monte Carlo methodology makes no attempt to take advantage of this special structure: Given the convexity of value functions, it seems reasonable to search for the best least-squares fit among the elements of a cone of conve...
متن کاملPricing Bounds for VIX Derivatives via Least Squares Monte Carlo
Derivatives on the Chicago Board Options Exchange volatility index (VIX) have gained significant popularity over the last decade. The pricing of VIX derivatives involves evaluating the square root of the expected realised variance which cannot be computed by direct Monte Carlo methods. Least squares Monte Carlo methods can be used but the sign of the error is difficult to determine. In this pap...
متن کاملA convergence criterion for the Monte Carlo estimates
In this article, a convergence criterion for the Monte Carlo estimates, which can be used as a stopping rule for the Monte Carlo experiments, will be proposed. The proposed criterion seeks a convergence band of a given width and length such that the probability of the Monte Carlo sample means to fall outside of this band is practically null. Although it has some sort of self defined confidence,...
