SYNOPSIS

9       EquityOption
10

DESCRIPTION

12       EquityOption is an example of using QuantLib.
13
14       For  a  given  set of option parameters, it computes the value of three
15       different equity options types (with european,  bermudan  and  american
16       exercise features) using different valuation algorithms.
17
18       The  calculation methods are Black-Scholes (for european options only),
19       Barone-Adesi/Whaley  (american-only),  Bjerksund/Stensland  (american),
20       Integral (european), Finite differences, Binomial Jarrow-Rudd, Binomial
21       Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, Additive equiprobabilities,  Binomial  Trigeorgis,
22       Binomial  Tian,  Binomial  Leisen-Reimer,  crude Monte Carlo (european-
23       only) and Sobol-sequence Monte Carlo (european-only).
