Class LIBORMarketModel

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    LIBORMarketModelInterface, AbstractModelInterface

    public class LIBORMarketModel
extends AbstractModel
implements LIBORMarketModelInterface
    Implements a (generalized) LIBOR market model with some drift approximation methods.

    In its default case the class specifies a multi-factor LIBOR market model in its log-normal formulation, that is Lj = exp(Yj) where \[ dY_{j} = \mu_{j} dt + \lambda_{1,j} dW_{1} + \ldots + \lambda_{m,j} dW_{m} \]
    The model uses an AbstractLIBORCovarianceModel for the specification of (λ1,j,...,λm,j) as a covariance model. See AbstractModelInterface for details on the implemented interface

    However, the class is more general:
    • The model may be log-normal or normal specification with a given local volatility.
    • The class implements different measure(drift) / numeraire pairs: terminal measure and spot measure.
    • The class allows to configure a discounting curve (e.g. for "OIS discounting") using a simple deterministic zero spread. In this case, the numeraire \( N(t) \) is adjusted by \( \exp( \int_0^t -\lambda(\tau) d\tau ) \).

    The class specifies a LIBOR market model, that is Lj = f(Yj) where
    • f is f(x) = exp(x) (default, log-normal LIBOR Market Model) or
    • f is f(x) = x (normal model, used if property.set("stateSpace","NORMAL"))
    and
    dYj = μj dt + λ1,j dW1 + ... + λm,j dWm

    see AbstractModelInterface for details on the implemented interface.
    The model uses an AbstractLIBORCovarianceModel as a covariance model. If the covariance model is of type AbstractLIBORCovarianceModelParametric a calibration to swaptions can be performed.
    Note that λ may still depend on L, hence generating a log-normal dynamic for L even if the stateSpace property has been set to NORMAL.
    The map properties allows to configure the model. The following keys may be used:
    • measure: Possible values:
      • SPOT: Simulate under spot measure. In this case, the single curve numeraire is \( N(T_{i}) = \prod_{j=0}^{i-1} (1 + L(T_{j},T_{j+1};T_{j}) (T_{j+1}-T_{j})) \).
      • TERMINAL: Simulate under terminal measure. In this case, the single curve numeraire is \( N(T_{i}) = P(T_{n};T_{i}) = \prod_{j=i}^{n-1} (1 + L(T_{j},T_{j+1};T_{i}) (T_{j+1}-T_{j}))^{-1} \).
    • stateSpace: Possible values:
      • LOGNORMAL: The state space transform is set to exp, i.e., L = exp(Y). When the covariance model is deterministic, then this is the classical lognormal LIBOR market model. Note that the covariance model may still provide a local volatility function.
      • NORMAL: The state space transform is set to identity, i.e., L = Y. When the covariance model is deterministic, then this is a normal LIBOR market model. Note that the covariance model may still provide a local volatility function.
    • liborCap: An optional Double value applied as a cap to the LIBOR rates. May be used to limit the simulated valued to prevent values attaining POSITIVE_INFINITY and numerical problems. To disable the cap, set liborCap to Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY.

    The main task of this class is to calculate the risk-neutral drift and the corresponding numeraire given the covariance model. The calibration of the covariance structure is not part of this class. For the calibration of parametric models of the instantaneous covariance see AbstractLIBORCovarianceModelParametric.getCloneCalibrated(LIBORMarketModelInterface, AbstractLIBORMonteCarloProduct[], double[], double[], Map).
