American Options Data


For the american call options, S, K, T, r, delta, sigma were generated randomly:

S was chosen uniformily from the range [50,100].
K was chosen uniformily in the range [0.8 S,1.2 S], conditional upon S.
T, r, delta, sigma were each generated independently and uniformly in the ranges:
    T in [0.1,5],
    r in [0,0.1],
    delta in [0,0.1],
    sigma in [0.1,0.6].


Each data set has 7 columns in the order S, K, T, r, delta, sigma, "true" price.
