A Utility Function for a Risk-Neutral Individual
Estimation of the risk-neutral density function from option prices
... Inspired by the aforementioned, we propose our methods based on SVR in terms of both linear programming and quadratic programming. The estimation of the RND is finally formulated into an optimization problem as in Feng ...

Risk Neutral Forecasting.
... Any forecast with the same sign as the conditional mean optimises the loss function derived from this agents' decision problem, so the class of optimal predictors is rather broad. We exploit the fact that optimal ...

Estimating the Implied Risk Neutral Density
... Estimation of the RND is hampered by two serious problems. First, the theory calls for options with a continuum of exercise prices, but actual options markets only trade a relatively small number of discrete strikes. ...
