PR Summary

This pull request introduces enhancements to the notebooks/code_samples/capital_markets/quickstart_option_pricing_models.ipynb notebook by adding two new parameters, N and M, which are likely used for configuring the number of simulations or iterations in the option pricing models. These parameters are initialized with values 10000 and 100, respectively. This change aims to provide more flexibility and control over the synthetic data generation process within the notebook.

The PR also includes a version bump from 2.7.8 to 2.7.9 in the pyproject.toml and validmind/__version__.py files, which is a standard practice for tracking changes but does not affect the functional aspects of the code.

Test Suggestions

• Verify that the notebook runs without errors after the introduction of the new parameters N and M.
• Check if the new parameters N and M are utilized correctly in the notebook's code cells.
• Ensure that the output of the notebook remains consistent with expected results after the changes.
• Test the notebook with different values for N and M to ensure flexibility and robustness.
