Watanabe's expansion: A Solution for the convexity conundrum
In this paper, we present a new method for pricing CMS derivatives. We use Mallaivin's calculus to establish a model-free connection between the price of a CMS derivative and a quadratic payoff. Then, we apply Watanabe's expansions to quadratic payoffs case under local and stochastic local volatility. Our approximations are generic. To evaluate their accuracy, we will compare the approximations numerically under the normal SABR model against the market standards: Hagan's approximation, and a Monte Carlo simulation.

On the overestimation of widely applicable Bayesian information criterion
A widely applicable Bayesian information criterion (Watanabe, 2013) is applicable for both regular and singular models in the model selection problem. This criterion tends to overestimate the log marginal likelihood. We …
Model SelectionDead Directions: Geometric Singular Learning
Singular learning theory and information geometry study the same spaces: the former in resolved coordinates, the latter in original coordinates under a non-degeneracy assumption that overparameterised models violate. Thi…
State Space Model of Realized Volatility under the Existence of Dependent Market Microstructure Noise
Volatility means the degree of variation of a stock price which is important in finance. Realized Volatility (RV) is an estimator of the volatility calculated using high-frequency observed prices. RV has lately attracted…

Various moral conundrums plague population ethics: the Non-Identity Problem, the Procreation Asymmetry, the Repugnant Conclusion, and more. I argue that the aforementioned moral conundrums have a structure neatly account…
