Method Detail

getNumberOfFactors

int getNumberOfFactors()

Returns:

Returns the numberOfFactors.

getLiborPeriodDiscretization

TimeDiscretizationInterface getLiborPeriodDiscretization()

Returns the libor period discretization as time discretization representing start and end dates of periods.

Returns:

Returns the libor period discretization

getNumberOfLibors

int getNumberOfLibors()

Returns:

The number of LIBORs in the LIBOR discretization

getLiborPeriod

double getLiborPeriod(int timeIndex)

Returns the period start of the specified forward rate period.

Parameters:

timeIndex - The index corresponding to a given time (interpretation is start of period)

Returns:

The period start of the specified forward rate period.

getLiborPeriodIndex

int getLiborPeriodIndex(double time)

Same as java.util.Arrays.binarySearch(liborPeriodDiscretization,time). Will return a negative value if the time is not found, but then -index-1 corresponds to the index of the smallest time greater than the given one.

Parameters:

time - The tenor time (fixing of the forward rate) for which the index is requested.

Returns:

The index corresponding to a given time (interpretation is start of period)

getLIBOR

RandomVariableInterface getLIBOR(int timeIndex,
                                 int liborIndex)
                          throws CalculationException

Return the forward rate for a given simulation time index and a given forward rate index.

Parameters:

timeIndex - Simulation time index.

liborIndex - Tenor time index (index corresponding to the fixing of the forward rate).

Returns:

The forward rate as a random variable.

Throws:

CalculationException - Thrown if the valuation fails, specific cause may be available via the cause() method.

getLIBORs

RandomVariableInterface[] getLIBORs(int timeIndex)
                             throws CalculationException

Return the forward rate curve for a given simulation time index.

Parameters:

timeIndex - Simulation time index.

Returns:

The forward rate curve for a given simulation time index.

Throws:

CalculationException - Thrown if the valuation fails, specific cause may be available via the cause() method.

getBrownianMotion

BrownianMotionInterface getBrownianMotion()

Returns the Brownian motion used to simulate the curve.

Returns:

The Brownian motion used to simulate the curve.

getModel

TermStructureModelInterface getModel()

Returns the underlying model. The model specifies the measure, the initial value, the drift, the factor loadings (covariance model), etc.

Specified by:

getModel in interface TermStructureModelMonteCarloSimulationInterface

Returns:

The underlying model

getCloneWithModifiedSeed

@Deprecated
Object getCloneWithModifiedSeed(int seed)

Deprecated.

Return a clone of this model with a modified Brownian motion using a different seed.

Parameters:

seed - The seed

Returns:

Clone of this object, but having a different seed.
