Note: The n, i and PMT values must all be based on the same time unit (for
example: n is measured in years or months and i and PMT are rates per year
or per month). i is a continuous percentage rate. PMT is the standard
deviation of the continuous percentage stock return (as observed over the
time unit). For sensible output, all inputs should be positive. The PMT=0 case
can be simulated by using a PMT arbitrarily close to 0.
