The Option Pricing Model Based on Time Values: An Application of the Universal Approximation Theory on Unbounded Domains
2021
We propose a time value related decision function to treat a classical option pricing problem raised by Hutchinson-Lo-Poggio. In numerical experiments, the new decision function significantly improves the original model of Hutchinson-Lo-Poggio with faster convergence and better generalization performance. By proving a novel universal approximation theorem, we show that our decision function rather than Hutchinson-Lo-Poggio's can be approximated on the entire domain of definition by neural networks. Thus the experimental results are partially explained by the representation properties of networks.
