I am not familiar with .rar compression files. Would it be possible to post a .zip version of the file?

[Burt Reynolds]

use winrar

Great files merging financial stochastic theory with numerical simulation.

Had a problem with the Vasicek-Estimation routine, needs a Newton-Raphson solver called R. this is not included in the .zip.

A low-quality novice submission. The authors don’t bother to use spell-check: do you think they were careful about debugging? The very first submission, OneDBrownian, incorrectly scales Gaussian increments - they should be multiplied by dt, not dt/T, no? So does the CIR simulator; incidentally, the authors implement an Euler discretization, rather than an ‘exact’ algorithm, but I feel that they wouldn’t know the difference. CIR estimation routine is an fminsearch call - does one need Optimization Toolbox? - with the log-likelihood written out as an inline function. The m-files are scripts requiring keyboard input. Chunks of code are inefficiently repeated across multiple files. pricing.m loads a dataset called ‘eurobank’; I have FD toolbox, but the dataset is not there.

Oops! I meant 'square root of dt' :)

very good
