              throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from class: FokkerPlanckGenerator

Compute the Expected Payoff of the Option from the Inputs

Specified by:

payoff in class FokkerPlanckGenerator

Parameters:

dblStrike - Option Strike

dblTimeToExpiry - Option Time To Expiry

dblRiskFreeRate - Option Risk Free Rate

dblUnderlier - Option Underlier Value

bIsPut - TRUE - The Option is a Put
