An application of MCMC methods in stochastic volatility model

Reza Habibi

In this paper, using the MCMC method, we derive the conditional distribution of "mean variance" variable. This random variable appears in the option pricing problem under the stochastic volatility assumption. Two real data sets are considered. -- conditional distribution ; equity returns ; MCMC ; mean variance ; option pricing ; stochastic volatility ; S&P 500 ; total variation
