Local Stochastic Vol Modeling
objective
Calibrate and validate local/stochastic vol models with surface-consistency and hedging diagnostics.
workflow
- •define calibration instruments, objective function, and constraints.
- •fit local-vol or stochastic-vol parameters with stable optimization.
- •validate no-arbitrage surface properties and calibration residuals.
- •test hedge performance under dynamic surface scenarios.
- •promote only when model risk metrics are within policy limits.
required diagnostics
- •calibration residual heatmap across strike and tenor.
- •parameter stability and identifiability diagnostics.
- •surface smoothness and static-arbitrage checks.
- •hedge error under scenario-based surface moves.
- •out-of-sample pricing error across re-calibration windows.
risk controls
- •enforce parameter bounds and convergence safeguards.
- •enforce challenger model comparison before release.
- •enforce fallback model on calibration instability.
outputs
- •run
python scripts/local_stochastic_vol_modeling_diagnostics.py input.csv --output diagnostics.jsonand keep the json artifact. - •write an implementation memo using
references/local-stochastic-vol-modeling-playbook.mdwith assumptions, tests, limits, and rollout plan.
resources
- •use
scripts/local_stochastic_vol_modeling_diagnostics.pyfor deterministic diagnostics. - •use
