Abstract

In this chapter we discuss various methods of presenting risk-neutral proba­bilities extracted from option prices. Most common are graphical displays of the risk-neutral probability density function or of the cumulative distribution function. In many cases the information in the risk-neutral density function is also summarized by computing selected distributional statistics.
