An investigation of ensemble methods to improve the bias and/or variance of option pricing models based on Lévy processes

This thesis introduces a novel theoretical option pricing ensemble framework to improve the bias and variance of option pricing models, especially those based on Levy Processes. In particular, we present a completely new, yet very general theoretical framework to calibrate and combine several option pricing models using ensemble methods. This framework has four main steps: general option pricing tasks, ensemble generation, ensemble pruning and ensemble integration. The modularity allows for a exible implementation in terms of asset classes, base models, pricing techniques and ensemble architecture.
