Lower and upper prudent valuations in two price economies obtained on sufficiently distorting physical probabilities for returns to horizons matching option maturities straddle the market prices of options. Market prices are then modeled as geometric averages of the extremal valuations. Upper...

In this paper, we show how we can deploy machine learning techniques in the context of traditional quant problems. We illustrate that for many classical problems, we can arrive to speed-ups of several orders of magnitude by deploying machine learning techniques based on Gaussian process...

It is generally said that out-of-the-money call options are expensive and one can ask the question from which moneyness level this is the case. Expensive actually means that the price one pays for the option is more than the discounted average payoff one receives. If so, the option bears a...
