Likelihood Ratio for MC

Jason.Clarke

Hi there, I'm looking to add an MC engine with Greeks using the Likelihood ratio, and from my explorations of the code so far, the best place to add the first variate, is to store it in the Path class (which is the biggest issue I want to get confirmation on) , so that it's easily accessible with custom MC engines and allows the ability to retrofit the Greeks enhancement to existing MC engines.
I'd add a simple MC pricer with the whole Greeks method implemented as an example for future implementations etc..
Thoughts?

Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason,

please go ahead and provide a patch, your contribution would be welcome.

btw are you sure you would own the copyright to your code? would you
be able to get a disclaimer from your employer allowing you to
contribute to QuantLib?

Yes, you got it, the domain in your email address struck me as much as
your likelihood proposal :-)

ciao -- Nando
