Implied Distribution
|
A probability distribution developed from prices of various at- and out-of-the- money options with a common expiration date. The implied distribution is notable primarily when its shape differs materially from the normal or lognormal distribution. The implied distribution, like many historical distributions, often has relatively fat tails and negative skewness. See also Forecast Distribution, Implied Binomial Tree, Smile, Skew.
