Ynour - SABR shifted beta calibration

[kiann00]

wow, Ynouri, stumbled upon this little github python a week ago.
Amazing code and project, and very useful!

I gave it a quick test, and was wondering for 2 issues

1. Are we able to include 'beta' in the calibration?
2. And the local minima/solution seems to go off-base (to the original parameters).
   I do a snapshot of the original, and fitted, parameters. While in both case, the (lognormal) vol-smile is recovered, the 'rho' and 'volvol' goes 'crazy'. Not sure what can be done...

Glad this is useful! I'm not actively developing this project right now, but feel free to submit a pull request if you have ideas on how to improve the calibration.

sure. By the way, I browsed through your code, and I hope I did not read it wrong, but it seems 1. You force the 'trade' set-up to *** always *** enter the vol input quote as Black-Normal. Is this correct? 2. Because I see the arguments are : sabr_ln = Hagan2002LognormalSABR(f/100, shift/100, t, *v_atm_n/1e4*, beta, rho, volvol) Is there a particular way, where, (for the SABR lognormal version),* I enter the ATM lognormal vols rather than Normal vols*? I know the Swaption market quotes Normal vols (which is probably why), but if I try to use your model to play with SPX options and FX Options, one would need to use a function to convert Lognormal vols into Normal Vols. Though, I guess, the naive = Normal Vols (ATM) = Forward * LogNormal-Vols (ATM) Kind regards Kian
