Bond: Base class for Bond price evalution

Description

This class forms the basis from which the more specific classes are derived.

Usage

"print"(x, digits=5, ...)
"print"(x, digits=5, ...)
"plot"(x, ...)
"summary"(object, digits=5, ...)

Arguments

x

Any Bond object derived from this base class

object

Any Bond object derived from this base class

digits

Number of digits of precision shown

...

Further arguments

Value

None, but side effects of displaying content.

Details

Please see any decent Finance textbook for background reading, and the QuantLib documentation for details on the QuantLib implementation.

Examples

## This data is taken from sample code shipped with QuantLib 0.9.7
## from the file Examples/Swap/swapvaluation
params <- list(tradeDate=as.Date('2004-09-20'),
               settleDate=as.Date('2004-09-22'),
               dt=.25,
               interpWhat="discount",
               interpHow="loglinear")
setEvaluationDate(as.Date("2004-09-20"))

## We got numerical issues for the spline interpolation if we add
## any on of these three extra futures, at least with QuantLib 0.9.7
## The curve data comes from QuantLib's Examples/Swap/swapvaluation.cpp
## Removing s2y helps, as kindly pointed out by Luigi Ballabio
