Does anyone try to use the code in cd "In Modelling Derivatives in C++" ?Apparently it doen't work at all...I'm in trouble with Hull And White calibration...page 450: the code is different from cd. The CD doesn't work (the library "volatility.lib" is missing"). Any Feedback?

See 'Nando ametrano comments in Book thread. He and Luigi are mr. Quantlib.

germoz,from a cursory look at the book I had suspected that some code wouldn't compile---it seems like I was right.Anyway: the Hull-White calibration code is basically the 'BermudanSwaption' example distributed with QuantLib, except for the fact that the code in the book is kind of old. You can download a more recent release of QuantLib and use that instead (if you're not in a hurry, I suggest that you wait a few days; we'll release the 0.3.9 version shortly.)Luigi

thanks luigi very good....I used 0.3.8 It works very well....In quantlib is there any code about cms convexity?RegardsGermoz

First in VB and than I try in C++....I think it is easier to manage more complex problems in C++....the problem could be to learn a good C++ to have a easier life later...It could be a good investment....always runnning.... germoz

Tell me the secret of happiness!

I also have this trouble The CD doesn't work (the library "volatility.lib" is missing").I try changing quantlib 0.3.10, but it still doesn't work.Please help

Forget the code in the book.Use the BermudanSwaption example in the QuantLib distribution.

the code in the book doesn't work right away. quite a bit of modifications are necessary... as lballabio mentioned, best to use Quantlib (because that's what the majority of code in the book is anyways)...i think the second edition, iff the author dutifully implements the non-derogatory comments and corrections from the ahem! ...legions of purchasers, then the book may become useful ...
