where w is the normalization constant, <strong>de</strong>termined from ∑ i w i = 1. However, the bid and<br />

ask quotes are not always available from option price data bases. On the other hand, it is<br />

known that at least for the options that are not too far from the money, the bid-ask spread<br />

in implied volatility units is of or<strong>de</strong>r of 1%. This means that to have errors proportional to<br />

bid-ask spreads, one must minimize the differ<strong>en</strong>ces of implied volatilities and not those of the<br />

option prices. However, this would prohibitively increase the computational bur<strong>de</strong>n since one<br />

would have to invert numerically the Black-Scholes formula once for each data point at each<br />

minimization step. each A feasible solution is to minimize the squared differ<strong>en</strong>ces of option<br />

prices weighted by the Black Scholes “vegas” evaluated at the points corresponding to mark<strong>et</strong><br />

option prices. D<strong>en</strong>oting the implied volatility computed in the mo<strong>de</strong>l Q for strike K and<br />

maturity T by Σ Q (T, K) and the corresponding mark<strong>et</strong> implied volatility by Σ M (T, K), we
