Description

The riskCalc package provides a risk calculation system that is able to

  1. compute Monte Carlo, historical, and parametric VaR for a portfolio of stock and option positions;

  2. both calibrate to historical data and take parameters as input;

  3. backtest the computed VaR against history.

This package is a part of the course project for MATH G4082.

This package is a risk calculation system that consists of three layers of operations. The first (bottom) layer includes functions stocks, addOptions, portfolio which creates structured data objects. The second (mid) layer includes a generic function GBM which performs model calibration / specification. The third (top) layer includes functions VaR and backtest which performs VaR calculation and backtesting based on calibrated or uncalibrated data.
