BondUtilities: Bond parameter conversion utilities

Description

These functions are using internally to convert from the characters at the R level to the enum types used at the C++ level. They are documented here mostly to provide a means to look up some of the possible values---the user is not expected to call these functions directly..

Usage

matchBDC(bdc = c("Following", "ModifiedFollowing", "Preceding",
                 "ModifiedPreceding", "Unadjusted")) 
matchCompounding(cp = c("Simple", "Compounded", "Continuous", "SimpleThenCompounded")) 
matchDayCounter(daycounter = c("Actual360", "ActualFixed", "ActualActual", "Business252",
                              "OneDayCounter", "SimpleDayCounter", "Thirty360",
                              "Actual365NoLeap", "ActualActual.ISMA", "ActualActual.Bond",
                              "ActualActual.ISDA", "ActualActual.Historical",
                              "ActualActual.AFB", "ActualActual.Euro"))
matchDateGen(dg = c("Backward", "Forward", "Zero", "ThirdWednesday",
                    "Twentieth", "TwentiethIMM"))
matchFrequency(freq = c("NoFrequency","Once", "Annual", "Semiannual",
                        "EveryFourthMonth", "Quarterly", "Bimonthly",
                        "EveryFourthWeek", "Biweekly", "Weekly", "Daily"))
matchParams(params)

Arguments

bdc

A string identifying one of the possible business day convention values.

A string identifying one of the possible compounding frequency values.

daycounter

A string identifying one of the possible day counter scheme values.

A string identifying one of the possible date generation scheme values.

freq

A string identifying one of the possible (dividend) frequency values.

params

A named vector containing the other parameters as components.

Value

Each function converts the given character value into a corresponding numeric entry. For matchParams, an named vector of strings is converted into a named vector of numerics..
