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: 1n(PmodPmkt)/Pmkt. MAE: 1n|PmodPmkt|/Pmkt. RMSE: 1n(PmodPmkt)2. Pmkt: market option price. Pmod: option price via binomial tree (with the Trigeorgis parametrization and 500 steps) with the volatility from the SVI or spline model. N: number of options priced by the SVI or spline model
