 *  This file is part of DROP, an open-source library targeting analytics/risk, transaction cost analytics,
 *      asset liability management analytics, capital, exposure, and margin analytics, valuation adjustment
 *      analytics, and portfolio construction analytics within and across fixed income, credit, commodity,
 *      equity, FX, and structured products. It also includes auxiliary libraries for algorithm support,
 *      numerical analysis, numerical optimization, spline builder, model validation, statistical learning,
 *      and computational support.

 *      https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP/
 *  
 *  DROP is composed of three modules:
 *  
 *  - DROP Product Core - https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP-Product-Core/
 *  - DROP Portfolio Core - https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP-Portfolio-Core/
 *  - DROP Computational Core - https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP-Computational-Core/
 * 
 *  DROP Product Core implements libraries for the following:
 *  - Fixed Income Analytics
 *  - Loan Analytics
 *  - Transaction Cost Analytics
 * 
 *  DROP Portfolio Core implements libraries for the following:
 *  - Asset Allocation Analytics
 *  - Asset Liability Management Analytics
 *  - Capital Estimation Analytics
 *  - Exposure Analytics
 *  - Margin Analytics
 *  - XVA Analytics
 * 
 *  DROP Computational Core implements libraries for the following:
 *  - Algorithm Support
 *  - Computation Support
 *  - Function Analysis
 *  - Model Validation
 *  - Numerical Analysis
 *  - Numerical Optimizer
 *  - Spline Builder
 *  - Statistical Learning
