zerorates

Calculate zero rates for ratecurve object

Syntax

outRates = zerorates(obj,inpDates)

outRates = zerorates(___,inpComp,inpBasis)

Description

outRates = zerorates(obj,inpDates) computes zero rates for the ratecurve object (obj) based on inpDates.

outRates = zerorates(___,inpComp,inpBasis) optionally specifies the input compounding frequency (inpComp) and the input day-count basis (inpBasis) in addition to any of the input argument combinations in the previous syntax.

Examples

Calculate Zero Rates for ratecurve Object

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve.

Settle = datetime(2019,9,15);
Type = 'zero';
ZeroTimes = [calmonths(6) calyears([1 2 3 4 5 7 10 20 30])]';
ZeroRates = [0.0052 0.0055 0.0061 0.0073 0.0094 0.0119 0.0168 0.0222 0.0293 0.0307]';
ZeroDates = Settle + ZeroTimes;
 
myRC = ratecurve('zero',Settle,ZeroDates,ZeroRates,'Compounding',2,'Basis',5,'InterpMethod',"pchip",'ShortExtrapMethod',"linear",'LongExtrapMethod',"pchip")

myRC = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: 2
                Basis: 5
                Dates: [10x1 datetime]
                Rates: [10x1 double]
               Settle: 15-Sep-2019
         InterpMethod: "pchip"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "linear"
     LongExtrapMethod: "pchip"

Compute the zero rates using zerorates.

CurveSettle = datetime(2019,9,15);
outRates = zerorates(myRC,CurveSettle+30:30:CurveSettle+720)

outRates = 1×24

Input Arguments

obj — ratecurve object

ratecurve object

ratecurve object, specified using a previously created ratecurve object.

Data Types: object

inpDates — Input dates

datetime | serial date number | date character vector | date string

Input dates, specified as a scalar or an NPOINTS-by-1 vector of datetimes, serial date numbers, cell array of date character vectors, or string array.

Data Types: string | datetime | double | char | cell

inpComp — Input compounding frequency

Compounding for the ratecurve object (default) | possible values include: –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

(Optional) Input compounding frequency, specified as a scalar numeric using one of the supported values: –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12.

Data Types: double

inpBasis — Input day-count basis

0 (actual/actual) (default) | integer from 0 to 13

(Optional) Input day-count basis, specified as a scalar integer.

• 0 = actual/actual

• 1 = 30/360 (SIA)

• 2 = actual/360

• 3 = actual/365

• 4 = 30/360 (PSA)
