Which is better for estimating upper bound for American Option price - Regression or Dual estimates?
Both of them give an upper bound of price. There is not much difference between the 2 estimates if the basis functions are good. Dual estimate is much computation intensive as compared to Regression. However if basis functions are not a good fit, Dual estimates give a major improvement on the upper bound (upper bound is more closer to true price)
