The recent analytical closed-form result ('http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549033' http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549033) discovered by Market Memory Trading L.L.C. (“MMT”) for the probability density function of the European style options with stochastic volatility, considered within the Heston model,...

The first ever explicit formulation of the concept of the option's probability density functions has been introduced in our publications “Breakthrough in Understanding Derivatives and Option Based Hedging - Marginal and Joint Probability Density Functions of Vanilla Options - True...

In this research note we report on our current efforts on developing a leading indicator of housing prices that could be used to forecast housing prices. Specifically we use Google search index at city level to predict Case-Shiller index. The methodology is based on Granger causality where we...

Fundaments of classification lie on the interdependences between the features and the labels to classify. For social parameters, this relationships are difficult to model and measure. In this paper, a way of obtaining a social indicator using sentiment analysis in Twitter is explained. With the...

This study compares the volatility and density prediction performance of alternative GARCH models with different conditional distribution specifications. The conditional residuals are specified as normal, skewed-t or compound Poisson (jump) distribution based upon a non-linear and asymmetric...

AI in finance broadly refers to the applications of AI techniques in financial businesses. This area has attracted attention for decades with both classic and modern AI techniques applied to increasingly broader areas of finance, economy and society. In contrast to either discussing the...

The generalized asymmetric Laplace (GAL) distribution, also known as the variance/mean-gamma model, is a popular flexible class of distributions that can account for peakedness, skewness, and heavier than normal tails, often observed in financial or other empirical data. We consider extensions...

• It is not widely emphasized in the literature that derivatives are complex random quantities which should, by custom, be characterized by their probability density functions. • It is understood that Black-Scholes style of derivatives pricing represents an expected value, i.e. the...
