This work addresses the problem of pricing American basket options in a multivariate setting, which includes among others, the Bachelier and the Black-Scholes models. In high dimensions, nonlinear partial differential equation methods for…
We introduce a class of $\gamma$-negatively dependent random samples. We prove that this class includes, apart from Monte Carlo samples, in particular Latin hypercube samples and Latin hypercube samples padded by Monte Carlo. For a…
This paper studies equity basket options -- i.e., multi-dimensional derivatives whose payoffs depend on the value of a weighted sum of the underlying stocks -- and develops a new and innovative approach to ensure consistency between options…
The Libor market model is a mainstay term structure model of interest rates for derivatives pricing, especially for Bermudan swaptions, and other exotic Libor callable derivatives. For numerical implementation the pricing of derivatives…
We study the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) in the so-called hybrid Lebesgue-continuous spaces and tail behavior of normed sums of centered random independent variables (vectors) with values in these spaces.
Threshold selection plays a key role for various aspects of statistical inference of rare events. Most classical approaches tackling this problem for heavy-tailed distributions crucially depend on tuning parameters or critical values to be…
Pricing exotic multi-asset path-dependent options requires extensive Monte Carlo simulations. In the recent years the interest to the Quasi-monte Carlo technique has been renewed and several results have been proposed in order to improve…
Efficient Latin hypercube designs (LHDs), including maximin distance LHDs, maximum projection LHDs and orthogonal LHDs, are widely used in computer experiments. It is challenging to construct such designs with flexible sizes, especially for…
In a recent paper the author obtained optimal bounds for the strong Gaussian approximation of sums of independent $\R^d$-valued random vectors with finite exponential moments. The results may be considered as generalizations of well-known…

Let $\boldsymbol{X}$ be a $d$-dimensional random array on $[n]$ whose entries take values in a finite set $\mathcal{X}$, that is, $\boldsymbol{X}=\langle X_s:s\in \binom{[n]}{d}\rangle$ is an $\mathcal{X}$-valued stochastic process indexed…
We study the problem of learning a high-density region of an arbitrary distribution over $\mathbb{R}^d$. Given a target coverage parameter $\delta$, and sample access to an arbitrary distribution $D$, we want to output a confidence set $S…
Regularized linear models, such as Lasso, have attracted great attention in statistical learning and data science. However, there is sporadic work on constructing efficient data collection for regularized linear models. In this work, we…
We provide probabilistic lower bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples. These bounds are sharp in the sense that they match the recent probabilistic upper bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples proved…
Stochastic separation theorems play important role in high-dimensional data analysis and machine learning. It turns out that in high dimension any point of a random set of points can be separated from other points by a hyperplane with high…

In Monte Carlo calculations of expectation values in lattice quantum field theories, the stochastic variance of the sampling procedure that is used defines the precision of the calculation for a fixed number of samples. If the variance of…
Verifying uniform conditions over continuous spaces through random sampling is fundamental in machine learning and control theory, yet classical coverage analyses often yield conservative bounds, particularly at small failure probabilities.…
