Return the curvature of the implied normal volatility (Bachelier volatility) under a SABR model using the approximation of Berestycki. The curvatures is the second derivative of the implied vol w.r.t. the strike, evaluated at the money.

Parameters:

alpha - initial value of the stochastic volatility process of the SABR model.

beta - CEV parameter of the SABR model.

rho - Correlation (leverages) of the stochastic volatility.

nu - Volatility of the stochastic volatility (vol-of-vol).

displacement - The displacement parameter d.

underlying - Underlying (spot) value.

maturity - Maturity.

Returns:

The curvature of the implied normal volatility (Bachelier volatility)

Exact conversion of displaced lognormal ATM volatiltiy to normal ATM volatility.

Parameters:

forward - The forward

displacement - The displacement (considering a displaced lognormal model, otherwise 0.

maturity - The maturity

lognormalVolatiltiy - The (implied) lognormal volatility.

Returns:

The (implied) normal volatility.

                           double redemption,
                           int frequency)

Re-implementation of the Excel PRICE function (a rather primitive bond price formula). The re-implementation is not exact, because this function does not consider daycount conventions.

Parameters:

settlementDate - Valuation date.

maturityDate - Maturity date of the bond.

coupon - Coupon payment.

yield - Yield (discount factor, using frequency: 1/(1 + yield/frequency).

redemption - Redemption (notional repayment).

frequency - Frequency (1,2,4).

Returns:

price Clean price.

                           double redemption,
                           int frequency)

Re-implementation of the Excel PRICE function (a rather primitive bond price formula). The re-implementation is not exact, because this function does not consider daycount conventions. We assume we have (int)timeToMaturity/frequency future periods and the running period has an accrual period of timeToMaturity - frequency * ((int)timeToMaturity/frequency).

Parameters:

timeToMaturity - The time to maturity.

coupon - Coupon payment.

yield - Yield (discount factor, using frequency: 1/(1 + yield/frequency).

redemption - Redemption (notional repayment).

frequency - Frequency (1,2,4).

Returns:

price Clean price.
