Class 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.

                                 double[] strikes,
                                 double[] maturities,

                                 DiscountCurve equityForwardCurve)
        This is a very restrictive constructor that assumes that for each maturity we have the same number of option quotes.
        Parameters:
        underlying - The name of the underlying of this surface.
        referenceDate - The reference date for this market data (t=0).
        strikes - The vector of strikes.
        maturities - The vector of maturities.
        values - The matrix of values per (strike, maturity)
        convention - The quoting convention (@see net.finmath.marketdata.model.volatilities.VolatilitySurfaceInterface.QuotingConvention).
        discountCurve - A discount curve for discounting (funding/collateral rate).
        equityForwardCurve - A the discount curve for forwarding (repo rate (e.g. funding minus dividents).

        public OptionSurfaceData​(OptionSmileData[] smiles,
                                 DiscountCurve discountCurve,
                                 DiscountCurve equityForwardCurve)
        Creates an equity option surface from an array of smiles.
        Parameters:
        smiles - The option smile data.
        discountCurve - A discount curve for discounting (funding/collateral rate).
        equityForwardCurve - A the discount curve for forwarding (repo rate (e.g. funding minus dividents).
