Implementation of stochastic volatility models for option pricing

StochVolModels

Implementation of pricing analytics and Monte Carlo simulations for modeling of options and implied volatilities.

The StochVol package provides:

1. Analytics for Black-Scholes and Normal vols
2. Interfaces and implementation for stochastic volatility models, including log-normal SV model and Heston SV model using analytical method with Fourier transform and Monte Carlo simulations
3. Visualization of model implied volatilities

For the analytic implementation of stochastic volatility models, the package provides interfaces for a generic volatility model with the following features.

1. Interface for analytical pricing of vanilla options using Fourier transform with closed-form solution for moment generating function
2. Interface for Monte-Carlo simulations of model dynamics

Illustrations of using package analytics for research work is provided in top-level package my_papers which contains computations and visualisations for several papers

Running model calibration to sample Bitcoin options data

Implemented Stochastic Volatility models

The package provides interfaces for a generic volatility model with the following features.

1. Interface for analytical pricing of vanilla options using Fourier transform with closed-form solution for moment generating function
2. Interface for Monte-Carlo simulations of model dynamics
3. Interface for visualization of model implied volatilities

The model interface is in stochvolmodels/pricers/model_pricer.py

Log-normal stochastic volatility model

The analytics for the log-normal stochastic volatility model is based on the paper

Log-normal Stochastic Volatility Model with Quadratic Drift by Artur Sepp and Parviz Rakhmonov

The dynamics of the log-normal stochastic volatility model:

$$dS_{t}=r(t)S_{t}dt+\sigma_{t}S_{t}dW^{(0)}_{t}$$

$$d\sigma_{t}=\left(\kappa_{1} + \kappa_{2}\sigma_{t} \right)(\theta - \sigma_{t})dt+ \beta \sigma_{t}dW^{(0)}{t} + \varepsilon \sigma{t} dW^{(1)}_{t}$$

$$dI_{t}=\sigma^{2}_{t}dt$$

where $r(t)$ is the deterministic risk-free rate; $W^{(0)}_{t}$ and $W^{(1)}_t$ are uncorrelated Brownian motions, $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$ is the volatility beta which measures the sensitivity of the volatility to changes in the spot price, and $\varepsilon>0$ is the volatility of residual volatility. We denote by $\vartheta^{2}$, $\vartheta^{2}=\beta^{2}+\varepsilon^{2}$, the total instantaneous variance of the volatility process.

Implementation of Lognormal SV model is contained in

stochvolmodels/pricers/logsv_pricer.py

Heston stochastic volatility model

The dynamics of Heston stochastic volatility model:

$$dS_{t}=r(t)S_{t}dt+\sqrt{V_{t}}S_{t}dW^{(S)}_{t}$$

$$dV_{t}=\kappa (\theta - V_{t})dt+ \vartheta \sqrt{V_{t}}dW^{(V)}_{t}$$

where $W^{(S)}$ and $W^{(V)}$ are correlated Brownian motions with correlation parameter $\rho$
