The early exercise premium and the price of an American put option are evaluated by using nonparametric regression on the time to expiration, the moneyness and the volatility of underlying assets. In terms of mean square error (MSE), our nonparametric methods of American put option pricings outperform the existing classical methods for both in-the-sample (1 September 2011–31 January 2012) and out-of-sample (1 September 2012–28 February 2013) testings on the S&P 100 Index (OEX). Our methods have better predictions and more accurate approximations. The Greek letters for both the early exercise premium and the American put option are computed numerically.

Abstract A new result is obtained on the vanishing of the local time of a non-negative continuous semimartingale at zero. Based on this result, an early exercise premium representation of a value function of the American put option is obtained in a one-dimensional general diffusion model.
