Abstract

This appendix describes the variance reduction techniques used in this work.
Variance Reduction Techniques
Monte Carlo simulation is very commonly used for evaluating the expected value of a variable that is a function of several stochastic variables, which is a problem that cannot be treated analytically. In this context, one of the methods used for American option pricing is a combination of Monte Carlo simulation with dynamic programming.
