Abstract:
We consider the estimation problem if the stochastic volatility
in the Hull-White framework. We consider the stock price as the observation
and pose the estimation problem for the stochastic volatility. We first
show that it is not possible to formulate ths as a usual filtering problem
and propose an alternative formulation. We then derive the robust
filtering equation suitable for real observation data and apply this new
filter to the option pricing problem.
