 *  This file is part of DROP, an open-source library targeting risk, transaction costs, exposure, margin
 *      calculations, and portfolio construction within and across fixed income, credit, commodity, equity,
 *      FX, and structured products.
 *  
 *      https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP/
 *  
 *  DROP is composed of three main modules:
 *  
 *  - DROP Analytics Core - https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP-Analytics-Core/
 *  - DROP Portfolio Core - https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP-Portfolio-Core/
 *  - DROP Numerical Core - https://lakshmidrip.github.io/DROP-Numerical-Core/
 * 
 *  DROP Analytics Core implements libraries for the following:
 *  - Fixed Income Analytics
 *  - Asset Backed Analytics
 *  - XVA Analytics
 *  - Exposure and Margin Analytics
 * 
 *  DROP Portfolio Core implements libraries for the following:
 *  - Asset Allocation Analytics
 *  - Transaction Cost Analytics
 * 
 *  DROP Numerical Core implements libraries for the following:
 *  - Statistical Learning Library
 *  - Numerical Optimizer Library
 *  - Machine Learning Library
 *  - Spline Builder Library
 * 
 *  Documentation for DROP is Spread Over:
