We propose a non-symmetric copula to model the evolution of electricity and gas prices by a bivariate non-Gaussian autoregressive process. We identify the marginal dynamics as driven by normal inverse Gaussian processes, estimating them from a series of observed UK electricity and gas spot data....

A family of generalized driftless uncorrelated SABR-like models are classified according to the dimensions of the symmetry groups of their corresponding backward Kolmogorov equations. This family contains the original uncorrelated SABR models, for arbitrary positive beta, as special cases. New...

In a follow up to a previous paper where a model was presented for intra-day volume dynamics, we use wavelet decomposition for model parameter estimation. We run Monte-Carlo simulations of the model with these estimated parameters and compare with observed volume curves. This model in its...

We present four new methods for approximating the drift in the LIBOR market model when performing very long steps. These are compared with a variety of existing methods, including PPR, Glasserman-Zhao and predictor-corrector. We find that two of them, which use correlation adjustments to better...

Given multivariate time series, we study the problem of forming portfolios with maximum mean reversion while constraining the number of assets in these portfolios. We show that it can be formulated as a sparse canonical correlation analysis and study various algorithms to solve the corresponding...

In this paper we investigate alternative Levy base correlation models that arise from the Gamma, Inverse Gaussian and CMY distribution classes. We compare these models with the basic (exponential) Levy base correlation model and the classical Gaussian base correlation model. For all investigated...

In general, geometric additive models are incomplete and the perfect replication of derivatives, in the usual sense, is not possible. In this paper we complete the market by introducing the so-called power-jump assets. Using a static hedging formula, in order to relate call options and...
