Implied Volatility

Hi,

Implied volatility is model based volatility. Due to the shortcomings of
the Black Scholes model there are in fact multiple implied volatilities on
the same underlying, one implied volatility per strike and expiration.
Typically one would be interested in ATM IV - at the money implied
volatility for a given expiration. IV is calculated from raw bid/ask option
prices using Black Scholes model (inverse problem). For missing option
prices IV can be interpolated, typically using parameterized SABR model.
I?ll gid out few pdfs and send you over.

Hi,

Let say I have an Option chain for a typical Equity underlying with
varying Strike prices and for both Call and Put. Option chain is
available for multiple maturities.

Based on above information, I would require to come up with a single
Annualized volatility (implied) number for the underlying Equity.

Can somebody point me, how this can be done in practice? Any research
paper, Weblink will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
