Class SwaptionSingleCurveAnalyticApproximation

All Implemented Interfaces:
Product, Swaption, TermStructureMonteCarloProduct, MonteCarloProduct

public class SwaptionSingleCurveAnalyticApproximation extends AbstractTermStructureMonteCarloProduct implements Swaption
This class implements an analytic swaption valuation formula under a LIBOR market model. The algorithm implemented here is taken from ISBN 0470047224. The approximation assumes that the forward rates (LIBOR) follow a log normal model and that the model provides the integrated instantaneous covariance of the log-forward rates. The getValue method calculates the approximated integrated instantaneous variance of the swap rate, using the approximation d log(S(t))/d log(L(t)) = d log(S(0))/d log(L(0)). The valuation can be performed in terms of value or implied volatility.

    • SwaptionSingleCurveAnalyticApproximation

      public SwaptionSingleCurveAnalyticApproximation(double swaprate, TimeDiscretization swapTenor)
      Create an analytic swaption approximation product for log normal forward rate model. Note: It is implicitly assumed that swapTenor.getTime(0) is the exercise date (no forward starting).
      Parameters:
      swaprate - The strike swap rate of the swaption.
      swapTenor - The swap tenor in doubles.
    • SwaptionSingleCurveAnalyticApproximation

      public SwaptionSingleCurveAnalyticApproximation(double swaprate, double[] swapTenor, Swaption.ValueUnit valueUnit)
      Create an analytic swaption approximation product for log normal forward rate model. Note: It is implicitly assumed that swapTenor[0] is the exercise date (no forward starting).
      Parameters:
      swaprate - The strike swap rate of the swaption.
      swapTenor - The swap tenor in doubles.
      valueUnit - The unit of the quantity returned by the getValues method.

    • getValue

      public RandomVariable getValue(double evaluationTime, TermStructureMonteCarloSimulationModel model)
      Description copied from interface: TermStructureMonteCarloProduct
      This method returns the value random variable of the product within the specified model, evaluated at a given evalutationTime. Note: For a lattice this is often the value conditional to evalutationTime, for a Monte-Carlo simulation this is the (sum of) value discounted to evaluation time. Cashflows prior evaluationTime are not considered.
      Specified by:
      getValue in interface TermStructureMonteCarloProduct
      Specified by:
      getValue in class AbstractTermStructureMonteCarloProduct
      Parameters:
      evaluationTime - The time on which this products value should be observed.
      model - The model used to price the product.
      Returns:
      The random variable representing the value of the product discounted to evaluation time
    • getValues

      public RandomVariable getValues(double evaluationTime, TimeDiscretization timeDiscretization, LIBORMarketModel model)
      Calculates the approximated integrated instantaneous variance of the swap rate, using the approximation d log(S(t))/d log(L(t)) = d log(S(0))/d log(L(0)).
      Parameters:
      evaluationTime - Time at which the product is evaluated.
      timeDiscretization - The time discretization used for integrating the covariance.
      model - A model implementing the LIBORModelMonteCarloSimulationModel
      Returns:
      Depending on the value of value unit, the method returns either the approximated integrated instantaneous variance of the swap rate (ValueUnit.INTEGRATEDVARIANCE) or the value using the Black formula (ValueUnit.VALUE).
      To dos:
      make initial values an arg and use evaluation time.
    • getLogSwaprateDerivative

      public static Map<String,double[]> getLogSwaprateDerivative(TimeDiscretization liborPeriodDiscretization, ForwardCurve forwardCurve, double[] swapTenor)
      This function calculate the partial derivative d log(S) / d log(Lk) for a given swap rate with respect to a vector of forward rates (on a given forward rate tenor). It also returns some useful other quantities like the corresponding discount factors and swap annuities.
      Parameters:
      liborPeriodDiscretization - The libor period discretization.
      forwardCurve - The forward curve.
      swapTenor - The swap tenor.
      Returns:
      A map containing the partial derivatives (key "value"), the discount factors (key "discountFactors") and the annuities (key "annuities") as vectors of double[] (indexed by forward rate tenor index starting at swap start)
