 The Yuima Project is an open source and collaborative effort  aimed at developing the \proglang{R} package named \pkg{yuima} for simulation and inference of stochastic differential equations.

+The \pkg{yuima} implements several optimal techniques for parametric, semi- and non-parametric estimation of (multidimensional) stochastic differential equations.
 Although most of the examples in this section are given on simulated data, the main way to fill up the \code{data} slot of a \code{yuima} object is to use the function \code{setYuima}. The function \code{setYuima} sets various slots of the \code{yuima} object. In particular, to estimate a \code{yuima.model} called \code{mod} on the data \code{X} one can use a code like this \code{my.yuima <- setYuima(data=setData(X), model=mod)} and then pass \code{my.yuima} to the inference functions as described in what follows.

 \code{toLatex(my-yuima-obj)} produces the related \LaTeX{} code which can be copy and pasted in a mathematical paper.
