This class implements some functions as static class methods. It provides functions like

• the Black-Scholes formula,
• the inverse of the Back-Scholes formula with respect to (implied) volatility,
• the corresponding functions (versions) for caplets and swaptions,
• some convexity adjustments.

Re-implementation of the Excel PRICE function (a rather primitive bond price formula). The re-implementation is not exact, because this function does not consider daycount conventions.

Parameters:

settlementDate - Valuation date.

maturityDate - Maturity date of the bond.

yield - Yield (discount factor, using frequency: 1/(1 + yield/frequency).

redemption - Redemption (notional repayment).

Re-implementation of the Excel PRICE function (a rather primitive bond price formula). The re-implementation is not exact, because this function does not consider daycount conventions. We assume we have (int)timeToMaturity/frequency future periods and the running period has an accrual period of timeToMaturity - frequency * ((int)timeToMaturity/frequency).

Parameters:

timeToMaturity - The time to maturity.

coupon - Coupon payment.
