The risk-neutral terminal density of the Heston model in the log spot, x = ln S.

public sealed class HestonRNDCalculator : RiskNeutralDensityCalculator
Inheritance

Inherited Members

Remarks

Immutable. Its times are the risk-free curve's, the dividend curve read at the instant a time denotes on its own clock, as BSMRNDCalculator reads it, where QuantLib reads it at the risk-free curve's time; a dividend curve on the risk-free curve's day counter and reference date is read as QuantLib reads it. Where κt is below 1e-12 the density's κ is raised to 1e-12/t, the density moving by about κt relative there, below the tolerance, where QuantLib's integration throws "Interval contains no more machine number" from κ = 1e-16.
