Description

IRFunctionCurve is a representation of an interest-rate curve object. You can construct this object directly by specifying a function handle or a function can be fit to market data using methods of the object. After an interest-rate curve object is constructed; you can:

Public Read-Only Properties

NameDescription
Type

Type of interest-rate curve: zero, forward, or discount.

Settle

Scalar or column vector of settlement dates.

CompoundingScalar that sets the compounding frequency per year for the IRCurve object:

  • -1 =  Continuous compounding

  • 1 = Annual compounding

  • 2 = Semiannual compounding (default)

  • 3 = Compounding three times per year

  • 4 = Quarterly compounding

  • 6 = Bimonthly compounding

  • 12 = Monthly compounding

Basis

Day-count basis of the interest-rate curve. A vector of integers.

  • 0 = actual/actual (default)

  • 1 = 30/360 (SIA)

  • 2 = actual/360

  • 3 = actual/365

  • 4 = 30/360 (BMA)

  • 5 = 30/360 (ISDA)

  • 6 = 30/360 (European)

  • 7 = actual/365 (Japanese)

  • 8 = actual/actual (ICMA)

  • 9 = actual/360 (ICMA)

  • 10 = actual/365 (ICMA)

  • 11 = 30/360E (ICMA)

  • 12 = actual/actual (ISDA)

  • 13 = BUS/252

FunctionHandle

Function handle that defines the interest-rate curve. For more information on defining a function handle, see the MATLAB Programming Fundamentals documentation.
