Creation

Syntax

HestonModelObj = finmodel(ModelType,'V0'v0_value,'ThetaV',thetav_value,'Kappa',kappa_value,'SigmaV',sigmav_value,'RhoSV',rhosv_value)

Description

HestonModelObj = finmodel(ModelType,'V0'v0_value,'ThetaV',thetav_value,'Kappa',kappa_value,'SigmaV',sigmav_value,'RhoSV',rhosv_value) creates a Black model object by specifying ModelType and the required name-value pair arguments V0, ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, and RhoSV to set properties using required name-value pair arguments. For example, HestonModelObj = finmodel("Heston",'V0',0.032,'ThetaV',0.1,'Kappa',0.003,'SigmaV',0.2,'RhoSV',0.9) creates a Heston model object.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify required pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.
