A First Option Calibration of the GARCH Diffusion Model by a PDE Method
Time-series calibrations often suggest that the GARCH diffusion model could also be a suitable candidate for option (risk-neutral) calibration. But unlike the popular Heston model, it lacks a fast, semi-analytic solution for the pricing of vanilla options, perhaps the main reason why it is not used in this way. In this paper we show how an efficient finite difference-based PDE solver can effectively replace analytical solutions, enabling accurate option calibrations in less than a minute. The proposed pricing engine is shown to be robust under a wide range of model parameters and combines smoothly with black-box optimizers. We use this approach to produce a first PDE calibration of the GARCH diffusion model to SPX options and present some benchmark results for future reference.

Deep Calibration With Artificial Neural Network: A Performance Comparison on Option Pricing Models
This paper explores Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a model-free solution for a calibration algorithm of option pricing models. We construct ANNs to calibrate parameters for two well-known GARCH-type option pricing mo…
Closed-form approximations with respect to the mixing solution for option pricing under stochastic volatility
We consider closed-form approximations for European put option prices within the Heston and GARCH diffusion stochastic volatility models with time-dependent parameters. Our methodology involves writing the put option pri…
