问题如下:
Suppose you are interested in approximating the expected value of an option. Based on an initial sample of 100 replications, you estimate that the fair value of the option is USD 47 using the mean of these 100 replications. You also note that the standard deviation of these 100 replications is USD 12.30. How many simulations would you need to run in order to obtain a 95% confidence interval that is less than 1% of the fair value of the option? How many would you need to run to get within 0.1%?
解释:
The standard deviation is USD 12.30, and a 95% confidence interval is and so the width is .
If we want this value to be 1% of USD 47.00, then =0.47 (so 103), n=1032=10609
Using 0.1%, we would need 1,025.8 (replace 0.47 with 0.047) and so 1,026 replication, so n=10262 =1052676
根号n是102.5求n不是应该先平方再取整吗?先取整再平方误差很大
