Other than the binomial expansion, what is the relationship between $B$ and $w$? As I understand correctly, there is no immediate relationship between the lag operator $B$ and the weights $w$. However, going from the fractional differencing operator, $(1-B)^d$ to $\hat{X}_t$ can be done as follows: \begin{align} (1-B)^d X_t &= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \begin{...

K. French's data library gets updated with a 1-2 month delay. Alternatives that come close are: Mkt-RF: Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index minus S&P U.S. Treasury Bill 0-3 Month Index SMB: Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Size Index HML: Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Value Index It's important that we use market-neutral indices to ...

Julien Guyon was so kind as to explain the story behind the cover and gave me permission to share it with the rest of the community: There's no direct link between the contents of the book and the cover page. I love Josef Albers' art and we decided to choose one of Albers' artworks to illustrate the cover page. The lithograph somehow suggests nonlinearity, ...

This book aims to demonstrate advanced numerical methods for solving high-dimensional nonlinear PDEs, which do often arise in option pricing. Hence, the authors present general mathematical tools which could be applied to solve these nonlinear (parabolic) PDEs. The price of a European option under the Black-Scholes model is governed by a linear second order ...
