Detailed Description

Forward-rate term structure

This abstract class acts as an adapter to TermStructure allowing the programmer to implement only the forwardImpl(const Date&, bool) method in derived classes. Zero yields and discounts are calculated from forwards.

Rates are assumed to be annual continuous compounding.

Member Function Documentation

DiscountFactor discountImpl (Time t) const [protected, virtual]

Returns the discount factor for the given date calculating it from the instantaneous forward rate.

Implements YieldTermStructure.

Reimplemented in CompoundForward.

Rate zeroYieldImpl (Time t) const [protected, virtual]

Returns the zero yield rate for the given date calculating it from the instantaneous forward rate.

Warning

This is just a default, highly inefficient and possibly wildly inaccurate implementation. Derived classes should implement their own zeroYield method.

Reimplemented in CompoundForward, InterpolatedForwardCurve< Interpolator >, and ForwardSpreadedTermStructure.
