Jan 23 at 20:19 comment added Kermittfrog To my knowledge, Shimko had the first (nice) article on backing out levels of the index and risk-free-rates given a set of observed option prices. Using this method, one finds quite stable levels of $q$ and $r$ through simple linear regression. researchgate.net/publication/306151578_Bounds_of_probability
