Abstract

We extend the neural-network approach for the valution of financial derivatives developed by Hutchinsonet al.[1] to the case of fat-tailed distributions of the underlying asset returns. We use a two-layer perceptron with three inputs, four hidden neurons, and one output. The input parameters of the network are: the simulated price of the underlying assetFdivided by the strike priceE, the time-to-maturityT, and the ratio|F-E|/T. The latter takes into account the volatility smile, whereas the priceFis generated by the method of Gorenfloet al.[2] based on fractional calculus. The output parameter is the call priceCoverE. The learning-set option priceCis computed by means of a formula given by Bouchaud and Potters [3, 4]. Option prices obtained by means of this learning scheme are compared with LIFFE option prices on German treasury bond (BUND) futures.
