Calculate discount factors for parametercurve object

Syntax

outDF = discountfactors(obj,inpDates)

Description

outDF = discountfactors(obj,inpDates) calculates the discount factors for a parametercurve object.

Examples

Calculate Discount Factors for parametercurve Object

Create a parametercurve object using parametercurve.

PCobj = parametercurve('zero',datetime(2019,9,15),@(t)polyval([-0.0001 0.003 0.02],t),'Compounding',4,'Basis',5,'Parameters',[-0.0001 0.003 0.02])

PCobj = 
  parametercurve with properties:

              Type: "zero"
            Settle: 15-Sep-2019
       Compounding: 4
             Basis: 5
    FunctionHandle: @(t)polyval([-0.0001,0.003,0.02],t)
        Parameters: [-1.0000e-04 0.0030 0.0200]

Compute the discount factors using discountfactors.

CurveSettle = datetime(2019,9,15);
outDF = discountfactors(PCobj,CurveSettle+30:30:CurveSettle+720)

outDF = 1×24
