Abstract

The use of deep neural networks (DNNs) for the calibration of volatility models applied to pricing and hedging issues has led to abundant academic literature. In contrast, few works utilize these tools for model estimation with a focus on volatility forecasting. Based on this observation, this article introduces an innovative deep estimation method using historical data, specifically designed for volatility forecasting. To illustrate this method, the article focuses on estimating a rough path-dependent volatility (RPDV) model, which is well-suited to the prediction objective and very complex to estimate using standard approaches. After formalizing the estimation problem within the framework of Bayesian decision theory, the article details the methodology for constructing the estimator function. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation of the estimation approach is conducted using both synthetic and market data to assess its performance.
