    public class HullWhiteLocalVolatilityModel
    extends AbstractLIBORCovarianceModelParametric
    Special variant of a blended model (or displaced diffusion model) build on top of a standard covariance model using the special function corresponding to the Hull-White local volatility. The model constructed for the i-th factor loading is (1+Li(t) d) Fi(t) where d is a constant (the period length), Li is the realization of the i-th component of the stochastic process and Fi is the factor loading from the given covariance model. If this model is combined with an exponential decay volatility model LIBORVolatilityModelTwoParameterExponentialForm, then the resulting LIBOR Market model corresponds to a Hull-White short rate model (with constant short rate volatility and mean reversion). The parameter of this model is the parameter vector of the given base covariance model.

      • getCloneWithModifiedData

        public AbstractLIBORCovarianceModelParametric getCloneWithModifiedData​(Map<String,​Object> dataModified)
                                                                        throws CalculationException
        Description copied from interface: LIBORCovarianceModel
        Returns a clone of this model where the specified properties have been modified. Note that there is no guarantee that a model reacts on a specification of a properties in the parameter map dataModified. If data is provided which is ignored by the model no exception may be thrown. Furthermore the structure of the covariance model has to match changed data. A change of the time discretizations may requires a change in the parameters but this function will just insert the new time discretization without changing the parameters. An exception may not be thrown.
        Specified by:
        getCloneWithModifiedData in interface LIBORCovarianceModel
        Specified by:
        getCloneWithModifiedData in class AbstractLIBORCovarianceModel
        Parameters:
        dataModified - Key-value-map of parameters to modify.
        Returns:
        A clone of this model (or a new instance of this model if no parameter was modified).
        Throws:
        CalculationException - Thrown when the model could not be created.
