The Bates model is Heston’s stochastic volatility model (chapter 10) with Merton jumps added to the price. The characteristic function is the product of Heston’s and the jump factor, and the parameters are .

Example 13.5 (Three models on one expiry, one on all)
Fitted to the one-month smile of chapter 9’s surface (nine strikes within two standard moves), Merton returns , , , with a root-mean-square error of 0.18 volatility point. Kou returns , , , , , with an error of 0.06. Variance gamma (next section) has an error of 0.24 (Figure 13.2). Carried to other expiries, all three fail. At one year Merton’s skew is against the market’s . At one week variance gamma’s is against (Figure 13.1). Bates fitted to all eight expiries from one week to two years has an error of 0.34 point, with , , , , and jumps , , . Its skew is at one week and at one year.
