Abstract: | The paper examines the absolute and relative robustness of two of the most commong methods for estimating implied probability density functions - the doublelognormal approximating function and the smoothed implied volatility smile methods - using short sterling futures options and the FTSE 100 index options. The tests show that the smoothed implied volatility smile method dominates the double lognormal as a technique for estimating mplied PDFs. |
