Any plans for Heston?

Andrew Marlow-4
Are there any plans to add Heston support to Quantlib please?
If so what approach will be taken? Some approaches will
only require use of the complex class but others may require
more extensive matrix support. Any ideas?

Regards,

Andrew Marlow

Hi Andrew!

As part of my master's thesis I did an implementation of the Bates
SVJD-model which has Heston as a special case. I never found the time to
polish it enough that it could be part of the official QuantLib release, but
feel free to use it and build on it. The source code can be found at this
link:

Best regards,

"Merge NesQuant SJD engine" is on the todo list, see

the code should be updated in order to use the StochasticProcess class
