Constructors

See the TermStructure documentation for issues regarding constructors.

 DefaultProbabilityTermStructure (const DayCounter &dc=DayCounter(), std::vector< Handle< Quote > > jumps={}, const std::vector< Date > &jumpDates={})
 DefaultProbabilityTermStructure (const Date &referenceDate, const Calendar &cal=Calendar(), const DayCounter &dc=DayCounter(), std::vector< Handle< Quote > > jumps={}, const std::vector< Date > &jumpDates={})

Survival probabilities

These methods return the survival probability from the reference date until a given date or time. In the latter case, the time is calculated as a fraction of year from the reference date.

Probability survivalProbability (const Date &d, bool extrapolate=false) const
Probability survivalProbability (Time t, bool extrapolate=false) const
Default probabilities

These methods return the default probability from the reference date until a given date or time. In the latter case, the time is calculated as a fraction of year from the reference date.

Probability defaultProbability (const Date &d, bool extrapolate=false) const
Probability defaultProbability (Time t, bool extrapolate=false) const
Probability defaultProbability (const Date &, const Date &, bool extrapolate=false) const
 probability of default between two given dates
Probability defaultProbability (Time, Time, bool extrapo=false) const
 probability of default between two given times
Default densities

These methods return the default density at a given date or time. In the latter case, the time is calculated as a fraction of year from the reference date.

Real defaultDensity (const Date &d, bool extrapolate=false) const
Real defaultDensity (Time t, bool extrapolate=false) const
Hazard rates

These methods returns the hazard rate at a given date or time. In the latter case, the time is calculated as a fraction of year from the reference date.

Hazard rates are defined with annual frequency and continuous compounding.

Calculations

The first two methods must be implemented in derived classes to perform the actual calculations. When they are called, range check has already been performed; therefore, they must assume that extrapolation is required. The third method has a default implementation which can be overriden with a more efficient implementation in derived classes.

Detailed Description

Default probability term structure.

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

Member Function Documentation

◆ survivalProbability()

Probability survivalProbability ( 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.

◆ defaultProbability()

Probability defaultProbability ( 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.

◆ update()

void update ( )
overridevirtual

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.

Implements Observer.

◆ defaultDensityImpl()
