Abstract
For a class of stochastic models with Gaussian and rough mean-reverting volatility that embeds the genuine rough Stein-Stein model, we study the weak approximation rate when using a Euler type scheme with integrated kernels. Our first result is a weak convergence rate for the discretised rough Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, that is essentially in , where is the fractional convolution kernel with . Then, our main result is to obtain the same convergence rate for the corresponding stochastic rough volatility model with polynomial test functions.
