Hi,

I have to say that I'm not an expert on IR methods, but I have read some
stuff on using Levenberg-Marquardt Nonlnear least squares to do the
calibration to swaptions. Google on: levenberg swaption calibration. Could
also try global Newton methods. I read on wilmott.com that the NR L-M
method is flawed, but I don't know whether that is true or not....
