Class OptionSurfaceData

java.lang.Object
net.finmath.marketdata.model.volatilities.OptionSurfaceData

public class OptionSurfaceData
extends Object
An option quote surface with the ability to query option quotes for different strikes and maturities. The surface is constructed as a collection of smiles. The choice of this dimension is convenient in view of calibration via FFT methods. This class does not perform any interpolation of market quotes. It merely represents a container of information. The class provides also the ability to perform the conversion among different quoting conventions and hence can be used both for a calibration on prices or implied volatilities. The class currently does not cover normal volatilities. Lognormal volatilities are more common in the equity space. The extension is not problematic.
