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 dif-
     ferent 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),  Inte-
     gral  (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).
