public abstract class AbstractLIBORCovarianceModelParametric
extends AbstractLIBORCovarianceModel

Base class for parametric covariance models, see also AbstractLIBORCovarianceModel. Parametric models feature a parameter vector which can be inspected and modified for calibration purposes. The parameter vector may have zero length, which indicated that the model is not calibrateable. This class includes the implementation of a generic calibration algorithm. If you provide an arbitrary list of calibration products, the class can return a new instance where the parameters are chosen such that the (weighted) root-mean-square error of the difference of the value of the calibration products and given target values is minimized.

Performs a generic calibration of the parametric model by trying to match a given vector of calibration product to a given vector of target values using a given vector of weights. Optional calibration parameters may be passed using the map calibrationParameters. The keys are (Strings):

• brownianMotion: Under this key an object implementing BrownianMotionInterface may be provided. If so, this Brownian motion is used to build the valuation model.
• maxIterations: Under this key an object of type Integer may be provided specifying the maximum number of iterations.
• accuracy: Under this key an object of type Double may be provided specifying the desired accuracy. Note that this is understood in the sense that the solver will stop if the iteration does not improve by more than this number.

Parameters:

calibrationModel - The LIBOR market model to be used for calibrations (specifies forward curve and tenor discretization).

calibrationProducts - The array of calibration products.

calibrationTargetValues - The array of target values.

calibrationWeights - The array of weights.

calibrationParameters - A map of type Map<String, Object> specifying some (optional) calibration parameters.

Returns:

A new parametric model of the same type than this one, but with calibrated parameters.

Throws:

CalculationException - Thrown if calibration has failed.
