implied_volatilities: Implied volatilities of european-exercise options under...

In brianboonstra/ragtop: Pricing Equity Derivatives with Extensions of Black-Scholes

Description

Find default-free volatilities based on known interest rates and hazard rates, using a given option price.

Usage

implied_volatilities(
  option_price,
  callput,
  S0,
  K,
  r,
  time,
  const_default_intensity = 0,
  divrate = 0,
  borrow_cost = 0,
  dividends = NULL,
  relative_tolerance = 1e-06,
  max.iter = 100,
  max_vola = 4
)

Arguments

option_price	Present option values (may be a vector)
callput	1 for calls, -1 for puts (may be a vector)
S0	initial underlying price (may be a vector)
K	strike (may be a vector)
r	risk-free interest rate (may be a vector)
time	Time from 0 until expiration (may be a vector)
const_default_intensity	hazard rate of underlying default (may be a vector)
divrate	A continuous rate for dividends and other cashflows such as foreign interest rates (may be a vector)
borrow_cost	A continuous rate for stock borrow costs (may be a vector)
dividends	A data.frame with columns time, fixed, and proportional. Dividend size at the given time is then expected to be equal to fixed + proportional * S / S0. Fixed dividends will be converted to proprtional for purposes of this algorithm.
relative_tolerance	Relative tolerance in option price to achieve before halting the search
max.iter	Number of iterations to try before abandoning the search
max_vola	Maximum volatility to try in the search
...	Arguments passed to implied_volatility

Value

Scalar volatilities
