CurveObj = IRFunctionCurve.fitFunction(Type, Settle, FunctionHandle, Instruments, IRFitOptionsObj) CurveObj = IRFunctionCurve.fitFunction(Type, Settle, FunctionHandle, Instruments, IRFitOptionsObj, 'Parameter1', Value1, 'Parameter2', Value2, ...)
| Type | Type of interest-rate curve for a bond: zero, forward, or discount. |
| Settle | Scalar or column vector of settlement dates. Settle must be earlier than Maturity. |
| FunctionHandle | Function handle that defines the interest-rate curve. The function handle takes two numeric vectors (time-to-maturity and a vector of function coefficients) and returns one numeric output (interest rate or discount factor). For more information on defining a function handle, see the MATLAB Programming Fundamentals documentation. |
| Instruments | N-by-4 data matrix for Instruments where the first column is Settle date, the second column is Maturity, the third column is the clean price, and the fourth column is a CouponRate for the bond. |
| IRFitOptionsObj | Object constructed from IRFitOptions. |
| Compounding | (Optional) Scalar that sets the compounding frequency per year for the IRFunctionCurve object:
|
| Basis | (Optional) Day-count basis of the bond. A scalar of integers.
For more information, see basis. |
For each bond Instrument, you can specify the following additional instrument parameters as parameter/value pairs by prepending the word Instrument to the parameter field. For example, prepending InstrumentBasis distinguishes a bond instrument's Basis value from the curve's Basis value.
Period | (Optional) Coupons per year of the bond. A vector of integers. Allowed values are 0, 1, 2 (default), 3, 4, 6, and 12. |
Basis | (Optional) Day-count basis of the bond. A vector of integers.
For more information, see basis. |
EndMonthRule | (Optional) End-of-month rule. A vector. This rule applies only when Maturity is an end-of-month date for a month having 30 or fewer days. 0 = ignore rule, meaning that a bond's coupon payment date is always the same numerical day of the month. 1 = set rule on (default), meaning that a bond's coupon payment date is always the last actual day of the month. |
IssueDate | (Optional) Date when an instrument was issued. |
FirstCouponDate | (Optional) Date when a bond makes its first coupon payment; used when bond has an irregular first coupon period. When FirstCouponDate and LastCouponDate are both specified, FirstCouponDate takes precedence in determining the coupon payment structure. If you do not specify a FirstCouponDate, the cash flow payment dates are determined from other inputs. |
LastCouponDate | (Optional) Last coupon date of a bond before the maturity date; used when bond has an irregular last coupon period. In the absence of a specified FirstCouponDate, a specified LastCouponDate determines the coupon structure of the bond. The coupon structure of a bond is truncated at the LastCouponDate, regardless of where it falls, and is followed only by the bond's maturity cash flow date. If you do not specify a LastCouponDate, the cash flow payment dates are determined from other inputs. |
Face | (Optional) Face or par value. Default = 100. |
Note When using Instrument parameter/value pairs, you can specify simple interest for a bond by specifying the InstrumentPeriod value as 0. If InstrumentBasis and InstrumentPeriod are not specified for a bond, the following default values are used: Basis is 0 (act/act) and Period is 2. |
CurveObj = IRFunctionCurve.fitFunction(Type, Settle, FunctionHandle, Instruments, IRFitOptionsObj, 'Parameter1', Value1, 'Parameter2', Value2, ...) fits a bond to a custom fitting function. You must enter the optional arguments for Basis and Compounding as parameter/value pairs.
