7.1. Numerics for the Bates and Heston model. The first examples we will show here, calculated using methods from the previous section, are variations of the Bates and Heston model with different activities of jumps. All models rely on the same samples of a CIR process, computed in 1000 time steps using distributional properties (exact simulation)
