NAME

       EquityOption - Example of using QuantLib to value equity options

SYNOPSIS

       EquityOption

DESCRIPTION

       EquityOption is an example of using QuantLib.

       For  a  given  set  of  option parameters, it computes the value of three different equity
       options types (with european, bermudan and american  exercise  features)  using  different
       valuation algorithms.

       The calculation methods are Black-Scholes (for european options only), Barone-Adesi/Whaley
       (american-only), Bjerksund/Stensland (american), Integral (european), Finite  differences,
       Binomial  Jarrow-Rudd,  Binomial Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, Additive equiprobabilities, Binomial
       Trigeorgis, Binomial Tian, Binomial Leisen-Reimer, crude Monte Carlo  (european-only)  and
       Sobol-sequence Monte Carlo (european-only).
