Estimating Option-Implied Probability Distributions for Asset Pricing After interpolation in (K, σ)-space, we obtain enough data points to estimate the implied strike price density functions at each expiry time. To do this we use a computational finance principle developed by Breeden and Litzenberger [4], which states that the probability density function f(K) of the value of an asset at time T is proportional to the second partial derivative of the asset call price C = C(K). We first transform the data to the original domain ((K, C)-space) for each expiry time using the blsprice function:

This Week In Petroleum Released: April 9, 2014 Next Release: April 16, 2014 Gasoline prices expected to average $3.57 per gallon during summer 2014 In the April 2014 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), EIA projects that regular-grade gasoline retail prices will average $3.57 per gallon (gal) during the current summer (April through September) driving season, similar to the $3.58/gal average of summer 2013. After rising into May, the retail price is expected to fall through the remainder of the summer because both crude oil prices and gasoline crack spreads (the difference between wholesale product price and the price of crude oil) decline. Daily and weekly national average prices can differ significantly from monthly and seasonal averages, and there are also significant regional differences, with prices in some areas exceeding the national average by 25 cents/gal or more.
