Constructors | |
See the TermStructure documentation for issues regarding constructors. | |
SwaptionVolatilityStructure () | |
default constructor | |
SwaptionVolatilityStructure (const Date &referenceDate) | |
initialize with a fixed reference date | |
SwaptionVolatilityStructure (Integer settlementDays, const Calendar &) | |
calculate the reference date based on the global evaluation date | |
Volatility | |
Volatility | volatility (const Date &start, const Period &length, Rate strike, bool extrapolate=false) const |
returns the volatility for a given starting date and length | |
Volatility | volatility (Time start, Time length, Rate strike, bool extrapolate=false) const |
returns the volatility for a given starting time and length | |
Limits | |
virtual Date | maxStartDate () const =0 |
the latest start date for which the term structure can return vols | |
virtual Time | maxStartTime () const |
the latest start time for which the term structure can return vols | |
virtual Period | maxLength () const =0 |
the largest length for which the term structure can return vols | |
virtual Time | maxTimeLength () const |
the largest length for which the term structure can return vols | |
virtual Real | minStrike () const =0 |
the minimum strike for which the term structure can return vols | |
virtual Real | maxStrike () const =0 |
the maximum strike for which the term structure can return vols | |
Protected Member Functions | |
virtual Volatility | volatilityImpl (Time start, Time length, Rate strike) const =0 |
implements the actual volatility calculation in derived classes | |
virtual std::pair< Time, Time > | convertDates (const Date &start, const Period &length) const |
implements the conversion between dates and times |
