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. </FONT></FONT></B></P>

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 lectures at ETH Zürich. These scripts are updated
each time when I start a new lecture, the next will be in summer
2005. So, unfortunately, the scripts are somewhat outdated which may
partly limit their practical use together with latest versaion of the software.</FONT></FONT></P>
