Syntax

[Price,PriceTree] = bdtprice(BDTTree,InstSet)
[Price,PriceTree] = bdtprice(___,Options)

Description

[Price,PriceTree] = bdtprice(BDTTree,InstSet) computes arbitrage-free prices for instruments using an interest-rate tree created with bdttree. All instruments contained in a financial instrument variable, InstSet, are priced.

bdtprice handles instrument types: 'Bond', 'CashFlow', 'OptBond', 'OptEmBond', 'OptFloat', 'OptEmFloat', 'Fixed', 'Float', 'Cap', 'Floor', 'RangeFloat', 'Swap'. See instadd to construct defined types.

example

[Price,PriceTree] = bdtprice(___,Options) adds an optional input argument for Options.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Interest-rate tree structure, specified by using bdttree.

Data Types: struct

Instrument variable containing a collection of NINST instruments, specified using instadd. Instruments are categorized by type; each type can have different data fields. The stored data field is a row vector or character vector for each instrument.

Data Types: struct

(Optional) Derivatives pricing options structure, created using derivset.

Data Types: struct

Output Arguments

collapse all

Price for each instrument at time 0, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector. The prices are computed by backward dynamic programming on the interest-rate tree. If an instrument cannot be priced, a NaN is returned in that entry.

Related single-type pricing functions are:

  • bondbybdt — Price a bond from a BDT tree.

  • capbybdt — Price a cap from a BDT tree.

  • cfbybdt — Price an arbitrary set of cash flows from a BDT tree.

  • fixedbybdt — Price a fixed-rate note from a BDT tree.

  • floatbybdt — Price a floating-rate note from a BDT tree.

  • floorbybdt — Price a floor from a BDT tree.

  • optbndbybdt — Price a bond option from a BDT tree.

  • optfloatbybdt — Price a floating-rate note with an option from a BDT tree.

  • optemfloatbybdt — Price a floating-rate note with an embedded option from a BDT tree.

  • optembndbybdt — Price a bond with embedded option by a BDT tree.

  • rangefloatbybdt — Price range floating note using a BDT tree.

  • swapbybdt — Price a swap from a BDT tree.

  • swaptionbybdt — Price a swaption from a BDT tree.

Tree structure of instrument prices, returned as a MATLAB® structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and accrued interest, and a vector of observation times for each node. Within PriceTree:

  • PriceTree.PTree contains the clean prices.

  • PriceTree.AITree contains the accrued interest.

  • PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.
