Discount factors
These methods return the discount factor from a given date or time to the reference date. In the latter case, the time is calculated as a fraction of year from the reference date.
DiscountFactor	discount (const Date &d, bool extrapolate=false) const
DiscountFactor	discount (Time t, bool extrapolate=false) const
Zero-yield rates
These methods return the implied zero-yield rate for a given date or time. In the former case, the time is calculated as a fraction of year from the reference date.
InterestRate	zeroRate (const Date &d, const DayCounter &resultDayCounter, Compounding comp, Frequency freq=Annual, bool extrapolate=false) const
InterestRate	zeroRate (Time t, Compounding comp, Frequency freq=Annual, bool extrapolate=false) const
Forward rates
These methods returns the forward interest rate between two dates or times. In the former case, times are calculated as fractions of year from the reference date. If both dates (times) are equal the instantaneous forward rate is returned.
InterestRate	forwardRate (const Date &d1, const Date &d2, const DayCounter &resultDayCounter, Compounding comp, Frequency freq=Annual, bool extrapolate=false) const
InterestRate	forwardRate (const Date &d, const Period &p, const DayCounter &resultDayCounter, Compounding comp, Frequency freq=Annual, bool extrapolate=false) const

Calculations
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

Interest-rate term structure.

This abstract class defines the interface of concrete interest rate structures which will be derived from this one.

Tests:

observability against evaluation date changes is checked.

Examples:

FittedBondCurve.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

DiscountFactor discount	(	Time	t,
		bool	extrapolate = false
	)		const

The same day-counting rule used by the term structure should be used for calculating the passed time t.

InterestRate zeroRate	(	const Date &	d,
		const DayCounter &	resultDayCounter,
		Compounding	comp,
		Frequency	freq = Annual,
		bool	extrapolate = false
	)		const

The resulting interest rate has the required daycounting rule.

InterestRate zeroRate	(	Time	t,
		Compounding	comp,
		Frequency	freq = Annual,
		bool	extrapolate = false
	)		const

The resulting interest rate has the same day-counting rule used by the term structure. The same rule should be used for calculating the passed time t.

InterestRate forwardRate	(	const Date &	d1,
		const Date &	d2,
		const DayCounter &	resultDayCounter,
		Compounding	comp,
		Frequency	freq = Annual,
		bool	extrapolate = false
	)		const

The resulting interest rate has the required day-counting rule.

InterestRate forwardRate	(	const Date &	d,
		const Period &	p,
		const DayCounter &	resultDayCounter,
		Compounding	comp,
		Frequency	freq = Annual,
		bool	extrapolate = false
	)		const

The resulting interest rate has the required day-counting rule.

Warning:

dates are not adjusted for holidays

InterestRate forwardRate	(	Time	t1,
		Time	t2,
		Compounding	comp,
		Frequency	freq = Annual,
		bool	extrapolate = false
	)		const

The resulting interest rate has the same day-counting rule used by the term structure. The same rule should be used for calculating the passed times t1 and t2.

This method must be implemented in derived classes. An instance of Observer does not call this method directly: instead, it will be called by the observables the instance registered with when they need to notify any changes.
