Linear: linear interpolation on implied variance. iCubic: interpolating cubic spline on implied volatility. Short/Long: maturity in calendar days. MPE: . MAE: . RMSE: . : market option price. : Black-Scholes-Merton option price (modified for known cash dividends) with a volatility forecated from the previous trading day. N: number of out-of-sample options
