In maRketSim: Market simulator for R

Description

Calculates the desired value given basic inputs. findDur_ClosedForm(), findMaxDur(), and findMaxMat are various closed-form approximations, whereas findDur and findMat are exact.

Usage

findDur(mat, i, market.rate = NA, f = 0.5, type = "modified", ...)
findMat(dur,i,f=.5)

Arguments

mat	Maturity
dur	Duration
i	Interest rate
market.rate	Market rate under which to evaluate mat/dur
f	Frequency of coupon payments
