Using the data provided, create a BDT volatility specification (using bdtvolspec), rate specification (using intenvset), and tree time layout specification (using bdttimespec). Then use these specifications to create a BDT tree with bdttree.

Compounding = 1;
ValuationDate = '01-01-2000';
StartDate = ValuationDate;
EndDates = ['01-01-2001'; '01-01-2002'; '01-01-2003'; 
'01-01-2004'; '01-01-2005'];
Rates = [.1; .11; .12; .125; .13];
Volatility = [.2; .19; .18; .17; .16];

RateSpec = intenvset('Compounding', Compounding,...
		     'ValuationDate', ValuationDate,...
		     'StartDates', StartDate,...
		     'EndDates', EndDates,...
		     'Rates', Rates);
	 
BDTTimeSpec = bdttimespec(ValuationDate, EndDates, Compounding);
BDTVolSpec = bdtvolspec(ValuationDate, EndDates, Volatility);
BDTTree = bdttree(BDTVolSpec, RateSpec, BDTTimeSpec)
BDTTree = struct with fields:
      FinObj: 'BDTFwdTree'
     VolSpec: [1x1 struct]
    TimeSpec: [1x1 struct]
    RateSpec: [1x1 struct]
        tObs: [0 1 2 3 4]
        dObs: [730486 730852 731217 731582 731947]
        TFwd: {[5x1 double]  [4x1 double]  [3x1 double]  [2x1 double]  [4]}
      CFlowT: {[5x1 double]  [4x1 double]  [3x1 double]  [2x1 double]  [5]}
     FwdTree: {[1.1000]  [1.0979 1.1432]  [1.0976 1.1377 1.1942]  [1.0872 1.1183 1.1606 1.2179]  [1.0865 1.1134 1.1486 1.1948 1.2552]}

Use treeviewer to observe the tree you have created.

treeviewer(BDTTree)

Figure Tree Viewer contains 2 axes objects and other objects of type uicontrol. Axes object 1 contains 35 objects of type line. Axes object 2 is empty.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Volatility process specification, specified using the VolSpec output obtained from bdtvolspec.

Data Types: struct

Interest-rate specification for initial rate curve, specified by the RateSpec obtained from intenvset. For information on the interest-rate specification, see intenvset.

Data Types: struct

Time tree layout specification, specified using the TimeSpec output obtained from bdttimespec. The TimeSpec defines the observation dates of the BDT tree and the Compounding rule for date to time mapping and price-yield formulas.

Data Types: struct

Output Arguments

collapse all

Time and interest-rate information of a recombining tree, returned as a structure.
