daycounter = Actual360, Actual365Fixed, AFB, Bond, Euro, Historical, ISDA, ISMA, OneDay, Simple, Thirty360BondBasis, Thirty360EuroBondBasis, Thirty360European, Thirty360Italian, Thirty360USA, or a day counter data structure -- This option specifies the convention used to convert the duration between two dates to year fractions.

The ImpliedRate(compound, interval, compounding) calling sequence calculates an interest rate implied by the given compound factor, for the specified compounding interval and compounding type. The parameter compound is the compound factor; it should be a constant greater than or equal to 1. The parameter interval is the length of the compounding period.   These can also be entered as lists, in which case an array of their combinations is returned.  Alternatively, one can specify the compounding interval by giving the start date, end date and a day count convention. The compounding parameter is the compounding type.
