I love this book but it would be much better if the author treated more recent models. So on the bright side, there are very few books out there with practical implementations. It is much effort to code a paper in Python and it is quite incredible that Yves Hilpisch provides this. Really impressive and clear. The book could be challenging for the least mathematical readers -- this is very advanced material, and a gem. The biggest warning for readers is that the models essentially stop at Baksi et al, which was published in 1997. A lot has been done since then and although Yves mentions the work of Duffie et al, he doesn't show the implementation of it. Why? It would make so much sense to add one chapter on Affine Jump Diffusion. This is the frontier today, and it's missing from the book. So unfortunate for an otherwise great book. Final word: I think the book could be clearer on the transformation from physical probability to risk-neutral probability. There is a missing transition there, and I had to look for other sources to get the pdf of the risk neutral probability distribution.

Impossible to reads without a strong mathematics baxkground

Pelo fato de ter os códigos fontes ele mereceu as 3 estrelas. Porém, as descrições dos modelos são complicadas demais e assume que o leitor lembre de tópicos não triviais de variáveis complexas e teoria da medida. O que torna a leitura enfadonha e de difícil assimilação.
