numericMpfr-classR Documentation

The numericMpfr class

Description

The S4 class union of numeric and mpfr, primarily used to define slots in ecd class. The use of MPFR does not necessarily increase precision. Its major strength in ecd is ability to handle very large numbers when studying asymptotic behavior, and very small numbers caused by small sigma when studying high frequency option data. Since there are many convergence issues with integrating PDF using native integrateR library, the ecd package adds many algorithms to improve its performance. These additions may decrease precision (knowningly or unknowningly) for the sake of increasing performance. More research is certainly needed in order to cover a vast range of parameter space!
