This method must be implemented in derived classes to perform the actual calculations. When it is called, range check has already been performed; therefore, it must assume that extrapolation is required.

Detailed Description

Hazard-rate term structure.

This abstract class acts as an adapter to DefaultProbabilityTermStructure allowing the programmer to implement only the hazardRateImpl(Time) method in derived classes.

Survival/default probabilities and default densities are calculated from hazard rates.

Hazard rates are defined with annual frequency and continuous compounding.

Member Function Documentation

survivalProbabilityImpl()

Probability survivalProbabilityImpl ( Time  ) const

protectedvirtual

survival probability calculation implemented in terms of the hazard rate \( h(t) \) as

\[ S(t) = \exp\left( - \int_0^t h(\tau) d\tau \right). \]

Warning:

This default implementation uses numerical integration, which might be inefficient and inaccurate. Derived classes should override it if a more efficient implementation is available.

Implements DefaultProbabilityTermStructure.

Reimplemented in InterpolatedHazardRateCurve< Interpolator >.
