InterestRate Class Reference
#include <ql/interestrate.hpp>
Detailed Description
Concrete interest rate class.This class encapsulate the interest rate compounding algebra. It manages day-counting conventions, compounding conventions, conversion between different conventions, discount/compound factor calculations, and implied/equivalent rate calculations.
- Tests:
- Converted rates are checked against known good results

Member Function Documentation
DiscountFactor discountFactor | ( | Time | t | ) | const |
discount factor implied by the rate compounded at time t.
- Warning:
- Time must be measured using InterestRate's own day counter.
Real compoundFactor | ( | Time | t | ) | const |
compound factor implied by the rate compounded at time t.
returns the compound (a.k.a capitalization) factor implied by the rate compounded at time t.
- Warning:
- Time must be measured using InterestRate's own day counter.

const Date & | d2, | |||
const Date & | refStart = Date() , |
|||
const Date & | refEnd = Date() | |||
) | const |
compound factor implied by the rate compounded between two dates
returns the compound (a.k.a capitalization) factor implied by the rate compounded between two dates.

Time | t, | |||
const DayCounter & | resultDC, | |||
Compounding | comp, | |||
Frequency | freq = Annual | |||
) | [static] |
implied interest rate for a given compound factor at a given time.
The resulting InterestRate has the day-counter provided as input.
- Warning:
- Time must be measured using the day-counter provided as input.
static InterestRate impliedRate | ( | Real | compound, | |
const Date & | d1, | |||
const Date & | d2, | |||
const DayCounter & | resultDC, | |||
Compounding | comp, | |||
Frequency | freq = Annual | |||
) | [static] |
implied rate for a given compound factor between two dates.
The resulting rate is calculated taking the required day-counting rule into account.
InterestRate equivalentRate | ( | Time | t, | |
Compounding | comp, | |||
Frequency | freq = Annual | |||
) | const |
equivalent interest rate for a compounding period t.
The resulting InterestRate shares the same implicit day-counting rule of the original InterestRate instance.
- Warning:
- Time must be measured using the InterestRate's own day counter.

Date | d2, | |||
const DayCounter & | resultDC, | |||
Compounding | comp, | |||
Frequency | freq = Annual | |||
) | const |
equivalent rate for a compounding period between two dates
The resulting rate is calculated taking the required day-counting rule into account.
