<t>While cannot claim to be an expert in this field, I'm aware of the basic difference between ARMAX and AR, mathematically. Sorry if I was not being specific: the question is pertinent to MATLAB command: ARMAX and AR. According to Matlab, armax(dex, [3, 0]) should be equivalent to a simple AR(3) mo...

Thanks for your kind suggestion for (ii) and (iii). As for (i): let me rephrase the question: how could I parameterize the matlab ARMAX model to give an equivalent AR model?

<t>(i) could someone please point out what's the difference between armax(dex, [3, 0]) and ar(dex, [3])? Shouldn't they give same result? (dex is just a time series n*1 vector)(ii) is there a way to implement ARIMA in matlab? I couldn't find the function (only ar, ma and armax) and I have most of th...

Could someone please point me in the right direction for papers on the topic? The search engines returned nothing. I know it is a newish product, but there has got to be some quantitative papers written on LCDS and LCDX? Many thanks!

Any swaption traders/quants here please help.

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: NorthernJohnWe do not quote swaptioms as "176D", so your question is a bit unclear.If someone wanted a 6m expiry, we would look at the date 6 months from today. Today being the first, we would look at the first of July. If it was a holiday, we would roll it forwards to ...

Quick question on market practice:What is the daycount convention for calculating expiry? ie. if the number of days to expiry is, say, 176, then which year fraction (176/360, 176/365, etc) number the market uses to get to the market price of a swaption?

Can I tell people where to sit? Or is it up to them to choose?
