Hi Erica,

isn’t BK the more general version of BDT? Although I think BDT was originally a discrete-time model, so it’s not exactly the same. Still, probably BK is the closest you can get in QuantLib currently.

Concerning the OAS and effective figures I don’t think they are directly supported, one would need to add small routines on top of the exotic NPV calculation to compute them.

Kind Regards
Peter
