Detailed Description

Models of the recovery rate provide future values of a recovery rate in the event of a default.

Member Function Documentation

recoveryValue()

virtual Real recoveryValue ( const Date &  defaultDate, const DefaultProbKey &  defaultKey = DefaultProbKey()  ) const

virtual

returns the expected recovery rate at a future time conditional on some default event type and seniority.

appliesToSeniority()

virtual bool appliesToSeniority ( Seniority  ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if the model will return recovery rates for the requested seniority.

Implemented in ConstantRecoveryModel.

recoveryValueImpl()

virtual Real recoveryValueImpl ( const Date &  , const DefaultProbKey &  defaultKey  ) const

protectedpure virtual

Returns Null<Real> if unable to produce a recovery for the requested seniority.

Implemented in ConstantRecoveryModel.
