<r>hi naut,which iit ya from ? they dont courtmartial there for sayin these things ? <E>:-)</E>) comeon dude, it isnt really that bad.

<t>dominic : sorry if i wasnt eloquent earlier ... what i meant was i have a time series of bond-related trade data and it runs for over an year. So, its like >1 * 365 days * #of instruments traded (assuming all are traded each day). And, as ya said, i am trying to get a separate nss parameter for e...

<t>hi,its me again - this time with a different doubt. am trying to determine NSS parameters by minimizing the pricing errors and am using excel for the same. the way i have set up my sheet is that for each settlement day, based on the NSS parameters the theoretical prices are calculated from within...

scuba-diving, ice-hockey, friday-night movies. anything and everything. at the end of the day, at least you have the satisfaction of having done what you like.

<t>heck, how can i keep myself away from a thread which has XP in its title ? :-)its true that its a paradigm shift; whether its for good or bad wholly depends on the people who implement it. I have seen few folks religiously putting to practice watever is mentioned in the Big Book. I really dont su...

<t>Hi Lippo n Domnic n Flex, thanx for your responses. I actually havent tried your suggestions yet; but if I remember right, what happened was precisely what flex described. When I tried calling the function coupncd from within a vba macro, it just didnt recognize it. In fact when I tried recording...

<t>hi rakesh,here are my 2 cents ... and forgive me for being brutally honest ...cmu's mscf program is one of the most sought after as they package the entire gamut of required tools(or atleast a decent amount of them) within an year. to be honest, yourself having worked as a java programmer wouldnt...

<t>Hi,I got a basic doubt in excel. Your help is much appreciated.I am trying to do some bond pricing and i need to use the COUPNCD function from within a macro. I figured that this can be done by setting some cell's FormulaR1C1 attribute = "=COUPNCD(etc etc)". But in that case, I will have to neces...

<t>Hi folks,I know this isnt an emacs forum; but since am sure many of ya out there use it, I hope you can help me.Recently, I installed emacs for windows (followin the suggestions in the latex thread sometime back) and was pretty impressed with its array of features. And this week, I decided to mak...

<t>true mr.bakri ... newton, ur questions were not only interesting, but also very different from the normal stuff. What is the level of Stoch Cal that you are pitchin these Qs at - is a Karatzas/Shreve level assumed or do they go beyond it? Am asking this because I am plannin to venture into that b...

<t>hi monk,if ya had been to CMU, guess ya would have come across measure-theory in no indirect way. Am sure Shreve would have touched upon it when he talks about borel sets, sigma-measurable fields etc .But yes, I agree with you - that bit of introduction to stochastic calculus is always fuzzy and ...
