McSimulation: base class for Monte Carlo engines

NAME

QuantLib::McSimulation - base class for Monte Carlo engines

SYNOPSIS

#include <ql/pricingengines/mcsimulation.hpp>

Public Types

typedef MonteCarloModel< MC, RNG, S >::path_generator_type path_generator_type

typedef MonteCarloModel< MC, RNG, S >::path_pricer_type path_pricer_type

typedef MonteCarloModel< MC, RNG, S >::stats_type stats_type

typedef MonteCarloModel< MC, RNG, S >::result_type result_type

Public Member Functions

result_type value (Real tolerance, Size maxSamples=QL_MAX_INTEGER, Size minSamples=1023) const
add samples until the required absolute tolerance is reached
result_type valueWithSamples (Size samples) const
simulate a fixed number of samples
result_type errorEstimate () const
error estimated using the samples simulated so far
const stats_type & sampleAccumulator (void) const
access to the sample accumulator for richer statistics
void calculate (Real requiredTolerance, Size requiredSamples, Size maxSamples) const
basic calculate method provided to inherited pricing engines

Detailed Description

template<template< class > class MC, class RNG, class S = Statistics> class QuantLib::McSimulation< MC, RNG, S >

Eventually this class might offer greeks methods. Deriving a class from McSimulation gives an easy way to write a Monte Carlo engine.

See McVanillaEngine as an example.
