Implied volatility modelling of options
Jahn, Daniel ; Kopa, Miloš (advisor) ; Hendrych, Radek (referee)
This text presents an analysis of constrained local polynomial estimation used to extract the implied volatility smile from options data. The optimization constraint derived from the state price density ensures the no arbitrage condition. The analysis contains an evaluation of the role of different parameters, such as the degree of the polynomial, kernel type and bandwidth, on the resulting IV smile. Two main approaches are suggested, one attempting to reflect the problematic case of the out-of-the- money options, the other focusing on producing a smooth state price density and a well-fitting IV smile.

The Bandwidth Selection in Connection to Option Implied Volatility Extraction
Tichý, T. ; Kopa, Miloš ; Vitali, S.
Among various kinds of options we can found at the market, some are traded at organized exchanges and therefore are quite liquid, while others are traded only between particular parties. Whereas there is no need to look for a model to price liquid exchange traded options, since their price is generally accepted by the demand and supply, for illiquid or even exotic options new efficient models are still developed. The current market practice is to obtain the implied volatility of liquid options as based on Black-Scholes type (BS hereafter) models. The focus of this paper is to study the behavior of IV and SPD for several kernel functions and with respect to different choices of bandwidth parameter h. Specifically, we show several interesting implications of the change of h on the violation of no arbitrage condition and the total area of SPD under zero.
