The density forecast of a random variable is an estimation based on the past observed data. This is a symmetric interval prediction which means that the outcomes will fall into an interval that is a band of plus/minus a fixed times of standard errors. The estimation provides a probability distribution of all possible future values of that variable. Over the past decades, the price density forecast has been widely used to study microeconomic and financial issues. Forecasting the future development

It is because that control variate estimate is more accurate than the implied value by the tree. The error of the binominal tree can be reduced by using it only to calculate the difference between the price

The volatility of crude oil prices have been experienced since the end of the 20th century. The March 1999 spikes were experienced due to the restriction of crude oil production and cooperation among OPEC member states, the growth of oil demand in Asia that signified its recovery following the Asian financial crisis and decreased production from non-OPEC countries (Al-Abri, 2013).
