摘要
The Radial Basis Functions (RBF) interpolation is a popular approximation technique used to smooth scattered data in various dimensions. This study uses RBF interpolation to interpolate the volatility skew of the S & P500 index options. The interpolated skews are used to construct the risk-neutral densities of the index and its local volatility surface. The RBF interpolation is contrasted throughout the study with the cubic spline interpolation. An analysis of the densities and the local volatility shows that RBF are an effective and practical tool for interpolating the implied volatility surface.
