Abstract
An improved efficiency version of the LOESS algorithm is proposed that is applicable to the Monte Carlo pricing tasks common in financial engineering. A self-contained overview of the LOESS algorithm is presented followed by the suggested efficiency modifications and a discussion of strategies for variable selection that can reduce dimensionality for further improvements in efficiency as well as stability. Some numerical results are shown as a demonstration of the suggested approach.
