This package is a very extensive calendar functions package, designed especially for financial analysis. The package can also be used in other fields of analysis. It is possible to work with normal calendar dates, holidays, workdays and most (probably all) financial day counting methods. The day counting methods are implemented in a rather general way.

The complexity of the functions in this package varies a great deal. Some are very simple, while others come in several versions with many different optional settings. All functions, however, are quite straightforward to understand and use.

Examples

 Examples of two of the many functions in the calendar module are given. The examples give some insight to the many different ways the functions can be combined and used, and are taken directly from the documentation - although the documentations' layout and styling is nicer than in a web-page. The examples can be viewed by clicking on the red-colored function names below.
