[R-sig-finance] fBonds

[Spencer Graves]

	  RSiteSearch("fBonds") produced 'No document matching your query.'  I 
similarly got nothing relevant searching for "swap rates" and 
"Svensson".  Googling for "fBonds" found a similar question to 
[R-sig-finance] in Oct. 2004, with no recorded answre.  The developer 
and maintainer of the Rmetrics project is Diethelm Wuertz 
<wuertz at itp.phys.ethz.ch>.  I don't know if S-Plus FinMetrics has this 
or not.

	  However, if you want to provide the math and some references with an 
incomplete attempt to program what you want in R, someone might help you 
get past any given obstacle.  (If you do this, you may want to know that 
posts more consistent with the posting guide! 
"www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html" may get quicker, more helpful 
answers.)

	  I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more helpful answer, but I hope you 
will find this useful nevertheless.

	  Best Wishes,
