fwr_sv {termstrc}R Documentation

Forward Rate Calculation according to Svensson (1994).

Description

Calculate forward rates according to Svensson (1994).

Usage

fwr_sv(beta, m)

Arguments

beta parameter vector {bm{β}} = (β_0,β_1,β_2,tau_1,β_3,tau_2).
m maturity or vector of maturities.

Details

The forward rate for a maturity m is calculated according to the following formula:

f(m,bm{β}) = β_0+β_1exp(-frac{m}{tau_1})+β_2<=ft[(frac{m}{tau_1})exp(-frac{m}{tau_1})right] +β_3<=ft[(frac{m}{tau_2})exp(-frac{m}{tau_2})right].

Value

Returns the a vector with the calculated forward rate (vector).
