Commodity pricing models that capture market dynamics are of great importance to commodity market participants in order to exercise sound investment and risk-management strategies. Parameters of commodity pricing models are estimated through maximum likelihood estimation, using available term structure futures data of a commodity. 'NFCP' (n-factor commodity pricing) provides a framework for the modeling, parameter estimation, probabilistic forecasting, option valuation and simulation of commodity prices through state space and Monte Carlo methods, risk-neutral valuation and Kalman filtering. 'NFCP' allows the commodity pricing model to consist of n correlated factors, with both random walk and mean-reverting elements. The n-factor commodity pricing model framework was first presented in the work of Cortazar and Naranjo (2006) . Examples presented in 'NFCP' replicate the two-factor crude oil commodity pricing model presented in the prolific work of Schwartz and Smith (2000) with the approximate term structure futures data applied within this study provided in the 'NFCP' package. authors: - family-names: Aspinall given-names: Thomas email: tomaspinall2512@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6968-1989 - family-names: Gepp given-names: Adrian email: adgepp@bond.edu.au orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1666-5501 - family-names: Harris given-names: Geoff email: gharris@bond.edu.au orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4284-8619 - family-names: Kelly given-names: Simone email: skelly@bond.edu.au orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6528-8557 - family-names: Southam given-names: Colette email: csoutham@bond.edu.au orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7263-2347 - family-names: Vanstone given-names: Bruce email: bvanston@bond.edu.au orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3977-2468 repository: https://cranhaven.r-universe.dev commit: 1fe6be5e396ec0eac2495b35783605bc12e7c29c date-released: '2026-06-01' contact: - family-names: Aspinall given-names: Thomas email: tomaspinall2512@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6968-1989
