Note(s): OTM: out-of-the-money. SVI: the SSVI model of Gatheral and Jacquier (2014). Spline: 5th-order spline interpolation with one knot at moneyness one. Short/Long: maturity in calendar days. MPE: . MAE: . RMSE: . : market option price. : Black-Scholes-Merton option price with the volatility from the SVI or spline model. N: number of options priced by the SVI or spline model
