► Wavelets de-noise perturbed option prices very well. ► Wavelet de-noising is necessary for density estimation from the option prices. ► Wavelet de-noising improves density estimation and forecasting ability. Financial time series are known to carry noise. Hence, techniques to de-noise such data de...
