3 The COS method Well known and established method: [FO08], [FO09], etc. Fourier-based method to price financial options. Starting point is risk-neutral valuation formula: v(x, t) = e r(t t) E [v(y, T ) x] = e r(t t) v(y, T )f (y x)dy, where r is the risk-free rate and f (y x) is the density of the underlying process. Typically, we have: ( ) ( ) S(0) S(T ) x := log and y := log, K K f (y x) is unknown in most of cases. However, characteristic function available for many models. Exploit the relation between the density and the characteristic function (Fourier pair). Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39 R

4 The COS method - European options f (y x) is approximated, on a finite interval [a, b], by a cosine series ( f (y x) = 1 ( A A k (x) cos kπ y a ) ), b a b a k=1 b ( A 0 = 1, A k (x) = f (y x) cos kπ y a ) dy, k = 1, 2,.... b a a Interchanging the summation and integration and introducing the definition V k := 2 b ( v(y, T ) cos kπ y a ) dy, b a a b a we find that the option value is given by v(x, t) e r(t t) A k (x)v k, k=0 where indicates that the first term is divided by two.

5 Pricing European options with the COS method Coefficients A k can be computed from the ChF. Coefficients V k are known analytically (for many types of options). Closed-form expressions for the option Greeks and Γ = v(x, t) S Γ = 2 v(x, t) S 2 = 1 v(x, t) S(0) x = exp( r(t t)) exp( r(t t)) k=0 A k (x) x V k S(0), k=0 ( A k(x) + 2 A k (x) x) x 2 ) ) Vk S 2 (0) Due to the rapid decay of the coefficients, v(x, t), and Γ can be approximated with high accuracy by truncating to N terms.

6 Learning densities Statistical learning theory: deals with the problem of finding a predictive function based on data. We follow the analysis about the problem of density estimation proposed by Vapnik in [Vap98]. Given independent and identically distributed samples X 1, X 2,..., X n. By definition, density f (x) is related to the cumulative distribution function, F (x), by means of the expression x f (y)dy = F (x). Function F (x) is approximated by the empirical approximation F n (x) = 1 n n η(x X i ), i=1 where η( ) is the step-function. Convergence O(1/ n).

7 Regularization approach The previous equation can be rewritten as a linear operator equation Cf = F F n, where the operator Ch := x h(z)dz. Stochastic ill-posed problem. Regularization method (Vapnik). Given a lower semi-continuous functional W (f ) such that: Solution of Cf = Fn belongs to D, the domain of definition of W (f ). The functional W (f ) takes real non-negative values in D. The set M c = {f : W (f ) c} is compact in H (the space where the solution exits and is unique). Then we can construct the functional R γn (f, F n ) = L 2 H(Cf, F n ) + γ n W (f ), where L H is a metric of the space H (loss function) and γ n is the parameter of regularization satisfying that γ n 0 as n. Under these conditions, a function f n minimizing the functional converges almost surely to the desired one. Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39

8 Regularization and Fourier-based density estimators Assume f (x) belongs to the functions whose p-th derivatives belong to L 2 (0, π), the kernel K(z x) and ( 2 W (f ) = K(z x)f (x)dx) dz, R R The risk functional ( x ) 2 ( 2 R γn (f, F n ) = f (y)dy F n (x) dx+γ n K(z x)f (x)dx) dz. R 0 R R Denoting by ˆf (u), ˆF n (u) and ˆK(u) the Fourier transforms, by definition ˆF n (u) = 1 F n (x)e iux dx 2π R = 1 n η(x X j )e iux dx = 1 n exp( iux j ), 2nπ n iu R j=1 where i = 1 is the imaginary unit.

L 2 L 2 The condition to minimize R γn (f, F n ) is given by, ˆf (u) u 2 1 nu 2 which gives us, n exp( iux j ) + γ n ˆK(u) ˆK( u)ˆf (u) = 0, j=1 ( ) 1 1 ˆf n (u) = 1 + γ n u 2 ˆK(u) ˆK( u) n n exp( iux j ). j=1 Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39

10 Regularization and Fourier-based density estimators K(x) = δ (p) (x), and the desired PDF, f (x) and its p-th derivative (p 0) belongs to L 2 (0, π), the risk functional becomes π ( x ) 2 π ( 2 R γn (f, F n ) = f (y)dy F n (x) dx + γ n f (x)) (p) dx. 0 0 Given orthonormal functions, ψ 1 (θ),..., ψ k (θ),... f n (θ) = 1 π + 2 à k ψ k (θ), π k=1 with à 0, à 1,..., à k,... expansion coefficients, à k =< f n, ψ k >. The coefficients à k cannot be directly computed from f n, but à k =< f n, ψ k >=< ˆf n, ˆψ k > π ( ) = γ n u 2 ˆK(u) ˆK( u) n 0 0 n exp( iuθ j ) ˆψ k (u)du. j=1 Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39

11 Regularization and Fourier-based density estimators Using cosine series expansions, i.e., ψ k (θ) = cos(kθ), it is well-known that ˆψ k (u) = 1 (δ(u k) + δ(u + k)). 2 This facilitates the computation of à k avoiding the calculation of the integral. Thus, the minimum of R γn à k = 1 ( ) n 1 2n 1 + γ n ( k) 2 ˆK( k) exp(ikθ j ) ˆK(k) j=1 ( ) n γ n k 2 ˆK(k) exp( ikθ j ) ˆK( k) 1 1 = 1 + γ n k 2 ˆK(k) ˆK( k) n j=1 j=1 n 1 1 cos(kθ j ) = 1 + γ n k 2(p+1) n n cos(kθ j ), where θ j (0, π) are given samples of the unknown distribution. In the last step, ˆK(u) = (iu) p is used. Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39 j=1

12 The data-driven COS method Employ the solution of the regularization problem for density estimation in the COS framework. In both, the density is assumed to be in the form of a cosine series expansion. The minimum of the functional is in terms of the expansion coefficients. Take advantage of the COS machinery: pricing options, Greeks, etc. The samples must follow risk-neutral measure (Monte Carlo paths).

13 The data-driven COS method Key idea: Ã k approximates A k. Risk neutral samples from an asset at time T, S 1 (t), S 2 (t),..., S n (t). With a logarithmic transformation, we have ( ) Sj (T ) Y j := log. K The regularization solution is defined in (0, π), by transformation θ j = π Y j a b a, The boundaries a and b are defined as a := min 1 j n (Y j), b := max 1 j n (Y j).

Taking derivatives of the ddcos pricing formulat w.r.t the samples, Y j, the data-driven Greeks, and Γ, can be obtained by = e r(t t) N k=0 N ( Γ = e r(t t) B k k=0 ( B k kπ b a ) V k S(0), ( ) ) kπ kπ 2 b a Ãk b a V k S 2 (0).

16 The data-driven COS method - Variance reduction Here, we show how to apply antithetic variates (AV) to our method. Since the samples must be i.i.d., an immediate application of AV is not possible. Assume antithetic samples, Y i, that can be computed without extra computational effort, a new estimator is defined as Ā k := 1 ) (Ãk + 2 à k, where à k are antithetic coefficients, obtained from Y i. It can be proved that the use of Āk results in a variance reduction. Additional information to reduce the variance. For example, the martingale property S(T ) = S(T ) 1 n S j (T ) + E[S(T )], n = S(T ) 1 n j=1 n S j (T ) + S(0) exp(rt ). j=1 Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39

17 Choice of parameters in ddcos method The choice of optimal values of γ n and p. There is no rule or procedure to obtain an optimal p. As a rule of thumb, p = 0 seems to be the most appropriate value True p = 0 p = 1 p = 2 p = For the regularization parameter γ n, a rule that ensures asymptotic convergence log log n γ n =. n Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39

25 Applications of the ddcos - Risk measures In the context of the Delta-Gamma approach (COS in [OGO14]). The change in a portfolio value is defined: L := V = V (S, t) V (S + S, t + t). The formal definition of the VaR reads P( V < VaR(q)) = 1 F L (VaR(q)) = q, with q a predefined confidence level. Given the VaR, the ES measure is computed as ES := E[ V V > VaR(q)]. Two portfolios with the same composition: one European call and half a European put on the same asset, maturity 60 days and K = 101. Different time horizons: 1 day (Portfolio 1) and 10 days (Portfolio 2). The asset follows a GBM with S(0) = 100, r = 0.1 and σ = 0.3.

31 Conclusions The ddcos method extends the COS method applicability to cases when only data samples of the underlying are available. The method exploits a closed-form solution, in terms of Fourier cosine expansions, of a regularization problem. It allows to develop a data-driven method which can be employed for option pricing and risk management. The ddcos method particularly results in an efficient method for the and Γ sensitivities computation, based solely on the samples. It can be employed within the Delta-Gamma approximation for calculating risk measures. Álvaro Leitao (CWI & TUDelft) The ddcos method CMMSE 2017, July 6, / 39

For the regularization parameter γ n, a rule that ensures asymptotic convergence log log n γ n =. n In practical situations: not optimal.

35 Choice of γ n This relation can be modeled by statistical laws or statistics: Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, Smirnov-Cramér von Mises. Preferable: a measure of the distance between the F n (x) and F (x) follows a known distribution. We have chosen Smirnov-Cramér von Mises(SCvM): ω 2 = n (F (x) F n (x)) 2 df (x). i=1 R Assume we have an approximation, F γn (which depends on γ n ). An almost optimal γ n is computed by solving the equation n ( F γn ( X i ) i 0.5 ) 2 = m S i n 12n, where X 1, X 2,..., X n is the ordered array of samples X 1, X 2,..., X n and m S the mean of the ω 2.
