Arbitrarily accurate analytical approximations for the error function

RM Howard - Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2022 - mdpi.com
A spline-based integral approximation is utilized to define a sequence of approximations to
the error function that converge at a significantly faster manner than the default Taylor series …

[PDF][PDF] A new very simply explicitly invertible approximation for the standard normal cumulative distribution function

J Lipoth, Y Tereda, SM Papalexiou, RJ Spiteri - AIMS Math, 2022 - aimspress.com
This paper proposes a new very simply explicitly invertible function to approximate the
standard normal cumulative distribution function (CDF). The new function was fit to the …

An explicit implied volatility formula

D Stefanica, R Radoičić - International Journal of Theoretical and …, 2017 - World Scientific
We show that an explicit approximate implied volatility formula can be obtained from a Black–
Scholes formula approximation that is 2% accurate. The relative error of the approximate …

Generation of normal distributions revisited

T Umeda - Computational Statistics, 2024 - Springer
Normally distributed random numbers are commonly used in scientific computing in various
fields. It is important to generate a set of random numbers as close to a normal distribution …

Predictive Modeling of Sleep Slow Oscillation Emergence on the electrode manifold: Toward Personalized Closed-Loop Brain Stimulation

M Alipour, SC Mednick, P Malerba - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Background: Sleep slow oscillations (SOs), characteristic of NREM sleep, are causally tied
to cognitive outcomes and the health-promoting homeostatic functions of sleep. Due to these …

Tighter bounds for implied volatility

J Gatheral, I Matić, R Radoičić… - International Journal of …, 2017 - World Scientific
We establish bounds on Black–Scholes implied volatility that improve on the uniform bounds
previously derived by Tehranchi. Our upper bound is uniform, while the lower bound holds …

Pólya-based approximation for the ATM-forward implied volatility

I Matić, R Radoičić, D Stefanica - International Journal of Financial …, 2017 - World Scientific
We introduce a closed form approximation for the implied volatility of ATM-forward options.
The relative error of this approximation is uniformly bounded for all option maturities and …

Using Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) for a systematic understanding of the pore structure of mudrocks of different origin

A Rezaeyan - 2021 - ros.hw.ac.uk
Technologies utilising the subsurface are impacted by the presence and properties of
mudrocks. This includes the petroleum industry evaluating top seals and shale reservoirs, as …

A Alkhazali, M Al-Rabayah… - Jordan Journal of …, 2019 - jjmie.hu.edu.jo
This paper develops two approximations to the normal cumulative distribution function.
Although the literature is rich in approximation functions for the normal distribution, they are …

The pliant probability distribution family

J Dombi, T Jónás, J Dombi, T Jónás - … in the Theory of Probabilistic and …, 2021 - Springer
In this chapter, a new four-parameter probability distribution function is introduced and some
of its applications are discussed. As the novel distribution function is so flexible that it may be …
