QuantoAmerPutLSM_AV: Pricing Quanto American put with Antithetic Variates

In LSMonteCarlo: American options pricing with Least Squares Monte Carlo method

Description

The function calculates the price of Quanto American put with Least Squares Monte Carlo method with Antithetic Variates (Glasserman, 2004). The Quanto option is cash-settled option, whose pay-off is converted into a third currency/asset at exercise at a pre-specified rate/price (Wystup, 2011), and can also be considered as a usual option but settled in a "wrong" asset (Vecer, 2011). The regression model included in the algorithm is quadratic polynomial (Longstaff & Schwartz, 2000).

Usage

QuantoAmerPutLSM_AV(Spot = 1, sigma = 0.2, n = 1000, m = 365, Strike = 1.1, 
r = 0.06, dr = 0, mT = 1, Spot2 = 1, sigma2 = 0.2, r2 = 0, dr2 = 0, rho = 0)

Arguments

Spot	Spot price of the underlying asset (e.g. stock).
sigma	Volatility of the underlying asset.
n	Number of paths simulated.
m	Number of time steps in the simulation.
Strike	Strike price of the option.
r	Interest rate of the numeraire currency (e.g. USD).
dr	Dividend rate of the underlying asset.
mT	Maturity time (years).
Spot2	Spot price of the 3rd asset (e.g. EUR/USD).
sigma2	Volatility of the 3rd asset.
r2	Interest rate of the 3rd asset.
dr2	Dividend rate of the 3rd asset.
rho	Correlation coefficient between the prices.
x	An object returned by the functions QuantoAmerPutLSM_AV.
object	An object returned by the function QuantoAmerPutLSM_AV.
...	Not used.

Value

The function returns an object of the class QuantoAmerPut_AV that is a list comprising the price calculated, option type, and the entry parameters. Class-specific print function gives the option type information and the price. The price as a single number can be derived using the price function. An overview of the entire object can be seen using the summary function.

Note

The function rmvnorm included in the pricing algorithm is a part of the mnormt package. Please, load that package before the use of the QuantoAmerPutLSM_AV function.
