Comment: I could not understand any of this at all, and I wondered if perhaps it is just science that is beyond me. But given how long this has been awaiting review, I can only assume other reviewers felt the same. The lead at least needs to be able to describe what the topic is, or at least provide enough context, in a way that a layperson can understand. -- NotCharizard 🗨 11:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
The COS method is a numerical technique in computational finance to efficiently price European plain vanilla put options or call options provided the explicit form of the characteristic function of , where is the price of the underlying asset at time , is available. The method has been developed in 2008 by Fang Fang and Cornelis W. Oosterlee.[1]
The COS method requires two parameters: a truncation range and a number of terms. The truncation range can be found using Markov's inequality.[2] The number of terms can be found by integration by parts.[3] To price a call option it is numerically more stable to price a put option instead and use the put-call parity.[1]
