Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Crude oil prices exhibit significant volatility over time. The distribution of returns on crude oil prices shows fat tails and skewness that barely follow a normal distribution. For this reason, we use the normal Gaussian process, jump diffusion process and variance gamma process as three Lévy processes that do not have these drawbacks. Their tails also carry a heavier mass than in a normal distribution. We employ the fractional fast Fourier transform to calibrate parameters in an optimization setup, using data about European-style options on crude oil futures in the New York Mercantile Exchange for a settlement date of April 24, 2015. Our results indicate that these three Lévy processes have very good out-of-sample results for near at-the-money options compared with others. ;

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
