This library contains the Gauss programs to reproduce the different examples, tables and figures presented in Introduction to Risk Parity and Budgeting (RPB)
PF is a Gauss library written with Guillaume Weisang for computing particle filters using the numerical algorithms described in
S. Arulampalam, S. Maskell, N.J. Gordon and T. Clapp [2002], A tutorial on particle filters for online nonlinear/non-Gaussian
Bayesian tracking, IEEE Transaction on Signal Processing, 50:2, pp. 174-188.
2008 (the first version of this library was written in 1998 when I worked in FERC. I have added some new procedures based on SABR and Durrleman models.)
This library contains procedures:
for the following models: Black and Scholes [1973], Merton [1976], Cox, Ross and Rubinstein [1979],
Barone-Adesi and Whaley [1987], Bates [1991], Rubinstein et Reiner [1991], Heston [1993], Dupire [1993],
Chang, Chang and Lim [1998), Hagan et al. [2002] (SABR model).
for the following payoff functions: European, American, Barrier (DIC, DIP, DOC, DOP, KIC, KIP, KOC, KOP, UIC, UIP, UOC, UOP), Binary,
Asian (Fixed and Floating stike), Lookback, Spread, Corridor, Partial Barrier, Window Barrier, Bermudean.
for computing greeks and implied volatility.
for estimating local volatility.
for estimating density (Breeden and Litzengerber [1978], Durrleman [2004]).
for solving backward PDE, forward PDE and variational inequalities.
for simulating SDE (GBM, OU, CIR, jump-diffusion processes, mGBM, SDE, mSDE and local volatility processes).
for performing Monte-Carlo (LCG, Park-Miller, L'Ecuyer) and Quasi-Monte-Carlo (Sobol, Faure) methods using reduction variance techniques (antithetic variables).
for computing option prices using numerical integrations (Gauss-Legendre, Gauss-Laguerre, Gauss-Hermite and Gauss-Jacobi quadrature methods, Simpson approximation).
for estimating multi-assets option prices and Asset/Time-sorted options using Monte-Carlo simulations
(BestOf, WorstOf, Bermudean, Rainbow, Average, Himalaya, etc.)
SKEW is a Gauss library for computing pdf, cdf and inverse of the cdf and simulating random numbers for the
SN, ST, MSN and MST distribution functions described in Azzalini, A. and Capitanio A.[2003], Distributions generated by
perturbation of symmetry with emphasis on a multivariate skew t distribution, JRSS B, 65, pp. 367-389.
MVT is a Gauss library for computing multivariate t cdf. It is based on the Fortran packages mvt.f and mvtdstpack.f written by Alan Genz.
The Fortran source code and the corresponding articles are available from his web page
http://www.sci.wsu.edu/math/faculty/genz/homepage.
PDE2D is a Gauss library for solving Parabolic and Elliptic Partial Differential Equations (PDE) in a 2 space dimensions.
It includes Hopscotch and theta-schemes algorithms with finite difference methods.
The working paper "Hopscotch methods for two-state financial models" describes the Hopscotch methods (problem definition,
algorithm, mixed boundary, computational considerations, band and sparse algorithms). It shows also how to apply them
to two-state financial models (2D Feynman-Kac problems, European stochastic volatility pricing, variational
inequalities problems, American stochastic volatility pricing, Term structure modelling with two states, financial
elliptic problems, Perpetual options, McDonald-Siegel-Dixit-Pyndick (irreversible investment) model, equity-based credit
risk model).
This is an implementation of the envelopment problems of Seiford, L.M. and R.M. Thrall [1990], Recent Developments in DEA,
The mathematical Programming Approach to Frontier Analysis, Journal of Econometrics, 46, pp. 7-38
The procedure Linear_Programming solves the linear programming problem whereas the proceduress Input_Oriented and
Output_Oriented solve the input-oriented and output-oriented envelopment problems.
This is an implementation of the fitting procedures of Friedman, J.H. [1991], Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines,
Annals of Statistics, 19, pp. 1-141
Contains procedures for polynomial spline regression, one and two-dimensional projection index optimization and
projection pursuit regression. The precedure for multivaraite adaptative regression spline is not yet available because it was based
on a dll of the fortran code developped by Jerome Friedman which is now not available in the public domain.
Procedures for computing functions of matrices (matrix cosine, matrix exponential, general matrix function and matrix sine)
and tridiagonal matrices (dense matrix to tridiagonal matrix form, inverse of a tridiagonal matrix, tridiagonal matrix form to dense matrix
and solve Xy=d with tridiagonal X matrix)
