Frequently, dynamic hedging strategies minimizing risk exposure are not given in closed form, but need to be approximated numerically. This makes it difficult to estimate residual hedging risk, also called basis risk, when only imperfect hedging instruments are at hand. We propose an easy to...

Adaptive Polar Sampling (APS) is proposed as a Markov chain Monte Carlomethod for Bayesian analysis of models with ill-behaved posteriordistributions. In order to sample efficiently from such a distribution,a location-scale transformation and a transformation to polarcoordinates are used. After...
