Rmetrics is the premier open source solution for financial market analysis and valuation of financial instruments. With hundreds of functions build on modern and powerful methods Rmetrics combines explorative data analysis and statistical modeling with object oriented rapid prototyping. Rmetrics is embedded in R, both building an environment which creates especially for students and researchers in the third world a first class system for applications in statistics and finance. Rmetrics allows you to study all the source code, so you can find out precisely which variation of the algorithm or method has been implemented. This let's you understand what the source code does. Thus Rmetrics can be considered as a unique platform ideally suited for teaching financial engineering and computational finance.

Rmetrics - User Guides 1.7.1

These are PDF documents, each with about 100 pages. Four "User Guides" for Rmetrics covering the topics from packages fBasics, fSeries, fExtremes, and fOptions are available. These user guides are scripts written for my former lectures at ETH Zürich. These scripts will no longer be updated. Currently I'm writing a monograph which updates theses scripts and offers a lot of new material. So, unfortunately, the scripts are currently somewhat outdated which may limit their practical use together with the latest version of the Rmetrics software.
