ABSTRACT:
A system and method for pricing of derivatives is presented. A volatility clustering time series process, including one or more predictive variables, is generated with an innovation process. Marginals of a probability distribution for the time series process follow a smoothly truncated heavy tailed and asymmetric probability distribution. Model parameters for the time series process are calibrated to a set of exogenously provided derivative prices. Pricing of derivatives, including options and swaps, is determined.
