public class BlendedLocalVolatilityModel extends AbstractLIBORCovarianceModelParametric
Blended model (or displaced diffusion model) build on top of a standard covariance model. The model constructed for the i-th factor loading is \[ ( a + (1-a) L_{i}(t) ) F_{i}(t) \text{,} \] or \[ ( a L_{i,0} + (1-a) L_{i}(t) ) F_{i}(t) \text{,} \] if an initial forward curve \( i \mapsto L_{i,0} \) is given, where a is the displacement or blending parameter and 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 a forward curve is provided, the deterministic value Li,0 is calculated form this curve (using fixing in Ti), otherwise it is replaced by 1. The parameter of this model is a joint parameter vector, consisting of the parameter vector of the given base covariance model and appending the displacement parameter at the end. If this model is not calibrateable, its parameter vector is that of the covariance model, i.e., only the displacement parameter will be not part of the calibration.

      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.
