getZeroRates - Get zero rates for input dates for IRDataCurve

Class

@IRDataCurve

Syntax

F = getZeroRates(CurveObj, InpDates)
F = getZeroRates(CurveObj, InpDates, 'Parameter1', 
Value1, 'Parameter2', Value2, ...)

Arguments

CurveObj

Interest-rate curve object that is constructed using IRDataCurve.

InpDates

Vector of input dates using MATLAB date format. The input dates must be after the settle date.

Compounding

(Optional) Scalar that sets the compounding frequency per year for zero rates are:

  • -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

(Optional) Day-count basis values for zero rates:

  • 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

For more information, see basis.

Description

F = getZeroRates(CurveObj, InpDates, 'Parameter1', Value1, 'Parameter2', Value2, ...) returns zero rates for the input dates. You must enter the optional arguments for Basis and Compounding as parameter/value pairs.

Examples

Data = [2.09 2.47 2.71 3.12 3.43 3.85 4.57 4.58]/100;
Dates = daysadd(today,[360 2*360 3*360 5*360 7*360 10*360 20*360 30*360],1);
irdc = IRDataCurve('Zero',today,Dates,Data);
irdc.getZeroRates(today+30:30:today+720)
