presents solutions, theoretical developments and method proliferation for many practical problems in quantitative finance. The combination of practice and theory supported by computational tools is reflected in the selection of topics as well as in a finely tuned balance of scientific contributions on the practical implementation and theoretical concepts. This concept offers theoreticians insight into the applicability of the methodology and, vice versa, practitioners access to new methods for their applications. The e-book design of the text links theory and computational tools in an innovative way. All "quantlets" for the calculation of given examples in the text are executable on an XploRe Quantlet Server (XQS) and can be modified by the reader via the internet. The electronic edition can be downloaded from the web site www.i-xplore.de using the licence and registration number at the back cover.weiterlesen
