Abstract

This is a supplementary note for the paper "QLBS: Q-Learner in the Black-Scholes(-Merton) Worlds" found here:

http://ssrn.com/abstract=3087076,

that explains how a model developed there applies to the problem of relative pricing of options in a data-driven Reinforcement Learning (RL) way that bypasses a model building stage (in particular, it does not need to build a volatility smile model).
