matlab Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.

Question

I had built this script but i can't find the problem Matrix in it. this is my script for reply a call standard option:

N=50;
T=90/252;
dt=T/N;
K=102;
S0=100;
B0=1;
r=0.02;

sigma=0.25;



for i=1:N
    ttomat(i)=(N-i+1)*dt;   %+1 serve per aggiustare il tempo
    d1(i)=(log(S(i,:)./K)+(r+0.5*sigma^2)*ttomat(i))./(sigma*sqrt(ttomat(i)));
    d2(i)=d1(i)-sigma*sqrt(ttomat(i));
    Call(i,:)=S(i,:).*normcdf(d1(i))-K*exp(-r*ttomat(i)*normcdf(d2(i)));
    alpha(i,:)=normcdf(d1(i));    %delta della Call 
    beta(i,:)=(Call(i,:)-alpha(i,:).*S(i,:))./(B0*exp(r*(i-1)*dt));

end

Answer 1

You have to initialize/pre-allocate the result, which gets calculated in loops. In your code, you have not pre-allocated the results. Pre-allocation helps you in achieving your result fast. It is always a best practice to pre-allocate the required variables. Check the below code, is it working for you?

N=50;
T=90/252;
dt=T/N;
K=102;
S0=100;
B0=1;
r=0.02;

sigma=0.25;

S = rand(N,1) ;

ttomat = zeros(1,N) ;
d1 = zeros(1,N) ;
d2 = zeros(1,N) ;
Call = zeros(1,N) ;
alpha = zeros(1,N) ;
beta = zeros(1,N) ;
for i=1:N
    ttomat(i)=(N-i+1)*dt;   %+1 serve per aggiustare il tempo
    d1(i)=(log(S(i,:)./K)+(r+0.5*sigma^2)*ttomat(i))./(sigma*sqrt(ttomat(i)));
    d2(i)=d1(i)-sigma*sqrt(ttomat(i));
    Call(i,:)=S(i,:).*normcdf(d1(i))-K*exp(-r*ttomat(i)*normcdf(d2(i)));
    alpha(i,:)=normcdf(d1(i));    %delta della Call 
    beta(i,:)=(Call(i,:)-alpha(i,:).*S(i,:))./(B0*exp(r*(i-1)*dt));
