For an example of the valuation of a Bermudan option using a backward algorithm in a single asset (equity) Monte-Carlo model see the class BermudanOption (this class also includes the so called upper bound method for valuation of Bermudan options).
The class uses the class MonteCarloConditionalExpectationRegression to perform the estimation of the conditional expectation using a least-square regression.
