[R-SIG-Finance] HJM model (Interest rate)

[Dale Smith]

I would say look at the Hull-White model. They even wrote a paper outlining how to implement their model, a rarity for academics. Just go to John Hull or Alan White's web page and look for the paper, or Google for it.

Christopher Finger's group at Riskmetrics recommended using this model in the MBS space. Register at the Riskmetrics web site & look for the article in 2004 or 2005.

HJM can be difficult to calibrate.

I don't own the book so I can't say anything about it's quality but it ( 
see link below ) must point to packages involving such things ?
also, there is a package listing at www.r-project.org that may describe 
such a package ? or even do an R archive search for Stefan Iacus,
the author of the book.
