Pull Request Overview
This PR introduces a comprehensive implementation of the Black-Scholes-Merton model for European option pricing in R. The implementation provides a modular R6-based calculator class that supports option pricing, Greeks computation, and implied volatility estimation.
Key changes:
- Adds a complete
BlackScholesCalculatorR6 class with call/put pricing methods - Implements Greeks calculation (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho) for both call and put options
- Includes implied volatility estimation using Newton-Raphson method with robust convergence handling
