My talk at ICCF24 with abstract: Efficiently pricing multi-asset options poses a significant challenge in quantitative finance. While the Monte Carlo (MC) method remains a prevalent choice, its slow convergence rate can impede practical applications. Fourier methods, leveraging the knowledge of the characteristic function, have shown promise in valuing single-asset options but face hurdles in the high-dimensional context. This work advocates using the randomized quasi-MC (RQMC) quadrature to improve the scalability of Fourier methods with high dimensions. The RQMC technique benefits from the smoothness of the integrand and alleviates the curse of dimensionality while providing practical error estimates. Nonetheless, the applicability of RQMC on the unbounded domain, $\mathbb{R}^d$, requires a domain transformation to $[0,1]^d$, which may result in singularities of the transformed integrand at the corners of the hypercube, and deteriorate the rate of convergence of RQMC. To circumvent this difficulty, we design an efficient domain transformation procedure based on the derived boundary growth conditions of the integrand. This transformation preserves the sufficient regularity of the integrand and hence improves the rate of convergence of RQMC. To validate this analysis, we demonstrate the efficiency of employing RQMC with an appropriate transformation to evaluate options in the Fourier space for various pricing models, payoffs, and dimensions. Finally, we highlight the computational advantage of applying RQMC over quadrature methods in the Fourier domain, and over the MC method in the physical domain for options with up to 15 assets.]]>

Stochastic reaction networks (SRNs) are a particular class of continuous-time Markov chains used to model a wide range of phenomena, including biological/chemical reactions, epidemics, risk theory, queuing, and supply chain/social/multi-agents networks. In this context, we explore the efficient estimation of statistical quantities, particularly rare event probabilities, and propose two alternative importance sampling (IS) approaches [1,2] to improve the Monte Carlo (MC) estimator efficiency. The key challenge in the IS framework is to choose an appropriate change of probability measure to achieve substantial variance reduction, which often requires insights into the underlying problem. Therefore, we propose an automated approach to obtain a highly efficient path-dependent measure change based on an original connection between finding optimal IS parameters and solving a variance minimization problem via a stochastic optimal control formulation. We pursue two alternative approaches to mitigate the curse of dimensionality when solving the resulting dynamic programming problem. In the first approach [1], we propose a learning-based method to approximate the value function using a neural network, where the parameters are determined via a stochastic optimization algorithm. As an alternative, we present in [2] a dimension reduction method, based on mapping the problem to a significantly lower dimensional space via the Markovian projection (MP) idea. The output of this model reduction technique is a low dimensional SRN (potentially one dimension) that preserves the marginal distribution of the original high-dimensional SRN system. The dynamics of the projected process are obtained via a discrete $L^2$ regression. By solving a resulting projected Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for the reduced-dimensional SRN, we get projected IS parameters, which are then mapped back to the original full-dimensional SRN system, and result in an efficient IS-MC estimator of the full-dimensional SRN. Our analysis and numerical experiments verify that both proposed IS (learning based and MP-HJB-IS) approaches substantially reduce the MC estimator’s variance, resulting in a lower computational complexity in the rare event regime than standard MC estimators.

My talk entitled "Numerical Smoothing and Hierarchical Approximations for Efficient Option Pricing and Density Estimation", that I gave at the "International Conference on Computational Finance (ICCF)", Wuppertal June 6-10, 2022. The talk is related to our recent works "Numerical Smoothing with Hierarchical Adaptive Sparse Grids and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods for Efficient Option Pricing" (link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.01874) and "Multilevel Monte Carlo combined with numerical smoothing for robust and efficient option pricing and density estimation" (link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.05708). In these two works, we introduce the numerical smoothing technique that improves the regularity of observables when approximating expectations (or the related integration problems). We provide a smoothness analysis and we show how this technique leads to better performance for the different methods that we used (i) adaptive sparse grids, (ii) Quasi-Monte Carlo, and (iii) multilevel Monte Carlo. Our applications are option pricing and density estimation. Our approach is generic and can be applied to solve a broad class of problems, particularly for approximating distribution functions, financial Greeks computation, and risk estimation.]]>

Seminar Talk: Multilevel Hybrid Split Step Implicit Tau-Leap for Stochastic Reaction Networks (SRNs) /slideshow/seminar-talk-multilevel-hybrid-split-step-implicit-tauleap-for-stochastic-reaction-networks-srns/228900696 talksplitstepimplictmlrwthaachen-200222085444
In biochemically reactive systems with small copy numbers of one or more reactant molecules, the dynamics are dominated by stochastic effects. To approximate those systems, discrete state-space and stochastic simulation approaches have been shown to be more relevant than continuous state-space and deterministic ones. These stochastic models constitute the theory of Stochastic Reaction Networks (SRNs). In systems characterized by having simultaneously fast and slow timescales, existing discrete space-state stochastic path simulation methods, such as the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) and the explicit tau-leap (explicit-TL) method, can be very slow. In this talk, we propose a novel implicit scheme, split-step implicit tau-leap (SSI-TL), to improve numerical stability and provide efficient simulation algorithms for those systems. Furthermore, to estimate statistical quantities related to SRNs, we propose a novel hybrid Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimator in the spirit of the work by Anderson and Higham (SIAM Multiscal Model. Simul. 10(1), 2012). This estimator uses the SSI-TL scheme at levels where the explicit-TL method is not applicable due to numerical stability issues, and then, starting from a certain interface level, it switches to the explicit scheme. We present numerical examples that illustrate the achieved gains of our proposed approach in this context.]]>

In systems characterized by having simultaneously fast and slow timescales, existing discrete space-state stochastic path simulation methods, such as the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) and the explicit tau-leap (explicit-TL) method, can be very slow. In this talk, we propose a novel implicit scheme, split-step implicit tau-leap (SSI-TL), to improve numerical stability and provide efficient simulation algorithms for those systems. Furthermore, to estimate statistical quantities related to SRNs, we propose a novel hybrid Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimator in the spirit of the work by Anderson and Higham (SIAM Multiscal Model. Simul. 10(1), 2012). This estimator uses the SSI-TL scheme at levels where the explicit-TL method is not applicable due to numerical stability issues, and then, starting from a certain interface level, it switches to the explicit scheme. We present numerical examples that illustrate the achieved gains of our proposed approach in this context. <img style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" alt="" src="https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/talksplitstepimplictmlrwthaachen-200222085444-thumbnail.jpg?width=120&amp;height=120&amp;fit=bounds" /><br> In biochemically reactive systems with small copy numbers of one or more reactant molecules, the dynamics are dominated by stochastic effects. To approximate those systems, discrete state-space and stochastic simulation approaches have been shown to be more relevant than continuous state-space and deterministic ones. These stochastic models constitute the theory of Stochastic Reaction Networks (SRNs).
