Quantlet: BlackScholesPathIndependentMDDiv
Description: calculates the option price and its standard deviation for path independent options in the multi-dimensional Black Scholes model by Monte Carlo simulation.

Link:
Usage: {z,v} = BlackScholesPathIndependentMDDiv(s0,r,div,vola,dt,payoff,iterations,gennum)
Input:
s0 n x 1 vector of the underlying values at time 0
r scalar, risk free interest rate 5% = 0.05
div n x 1 vector of the continuous dividend yields
vola covariance matrix of the log-price processes
dt scalar, time to maturity
payoff string, name of the payoff function for the option product
iterations scalar, number of simulations
gennum scalar, number of the random source which is used in the simulation
Output:
z scalar, estimated option price
v scalar, standard deviation of the price estimate

Example:
library("finance")
proc(v) = SpecialOPT(s0)
  maxcall = 1.4*(s0[1]-40)
  next = 0.95*(s0[2]-60)
  if(next>maxcall)
    maxcall = next
  endif
  next = 2.1*(s0[4]-27)
  if(next>maxcall)
    maxcall = next
  endif
  next = 0.16*(s0[5]-340)
  if(next>maxcall)
    maxcall = next
  endif
  next =(s0[6]-57.5)
  if(next>maxcall)
    maxcall = next
  endif
  maxput =(55-s0[3])
  if((maxput+maxcall)>0)
    v = maxput+maxcall
  else
    v = 0
  endif
