Abstract

The SABR stochastic volatility model is a very popular interpolator of implied volatilities, with a given dynamic. This paper presents a simple and very fast method to calibrate the SABR model to given market volatilities, that is to imply the SABR parameters from a given market smile.

Keywords: stochastic volatility, SABR, calibration, implied volatility, finance
