List of valid values:Data
Refers to the output of QuantLib's data function.
Returns the array of sample final values and their respective weights in the context of a monte carlo algorithm.
Error Estimate
Refers to the output of QuantLib's errorEstimate function.
Returns the error estimate on the mean value in the context of a monte carlo algorithm, defined as σ/n, where σ is the standard deviation and n² = N with N being the number of samples.
Gaussian Downside Deviation
