creditr: The creditr package.
Description
creditr package provides useful tools for pricing credit default swaps
(CDS). It enables CDS class object which has slots as name, contract, RED,
date, spread, maturity, teno, coupon, recovery, currency, notional,
principal, accrual, pd, price, upfront, spread.DV01, IR.DV01 and rec.risk.01,
with S4 methods like update, show and summary. It also supports data frame
input and is able to provide convenient calculation of key CDS statistics
through functions like CS10, IR.DV01, rec_risk_01 and
spread_DV01. Of other major functions, spread_to_upfront and
upfront_to_spread are designed to compute one of spread and upfront
given the other; spread_to_pd and pd_to_spread, similarly, can
calculate one of spread and probability of default given the other;
add_dates and add_conventions compute a series of dates
information and accounting conventions related to CDS pricing. Finally,
get_rates and build_rates facilitates direct fetching of
relevant interest rates from online sources. Thanks to ISDA Standard Model's
Open Source license, we are able to create this package for R users. You can
