Arguments

ValuationDate

Scalar date indicating the pricing date and first observation in the tree. A serial date number or date string.

Maturity

Scalar date indicating depth of the tree.

NumPeriods

Scalar determining number of time steps in the tree.

Description

TimeSpec = eqptimespec(ValuationDate, Maturity, NumPeriods) sets the number of levels and node times for an equal probabilities tree.

TimeSpec is a structure specifying the time layout for an equal probabilities tree.

Examples

Specify a four-period tree with time steps of 1 year.

ValuationDate = '1-July-2002';
Maturity = '1-July-2006';
TimeSpec = eqptimespec(ValuationDate, Maturity, 4)

TimeSpec = 

           FinObj: 'BinTimeSpec'
    ValuationDate: 731398
         Maturity: 732859
       NumPeriods: 4
            Basis: 0
     EndMonthRule: 1
