[R-SIG-Finance] Easiest way to create a schedule of quarterly LIBOR dates in RQuantLib

[Keith S Weintraub]

It's a convention for date schedules for interest rate swaps.

I don't remember all the details but it takes into account holidays and weekends. I think it uses a "modified following" business convention.

Payments are made using Actual/360 day counts.

My preference would be to have a function that takes a start-date/end-date and just generate the schedule.

I am not sure if the definitions are in the ISDA docs or http://www.bba.org.uk/ or somewhere else.

Thanks,
KW
