CDSBlack

Create CDSBlack pricer object for CDSOption instrument using CDSBlack model

Since R2020a

Description

Create and price a CDSOption instrument object with a CDSBlack model and a CDSBlack pricing method using this workflow:

1. Use fininstrument to create the CDSOption instrument object. By default, this creates a single-name CDS option. You can create a CDS index option by specifying the optional name-value argument AdjustedForwardSpread.

2. Use finmodel to specify the CDSBlack model for the CDSOption instrument object.

3. Use finpricer to specify the CDSBlack pricer object for the CDSOption instrument object.

For more information on this workflow, see Get Started with Workflows Using Object-Based Framework for Pricing Financial Instruments.

For more information on the available instruments, models, and pricing methods for a CDSOption instrument, see Choose Instruments, Models, and Pricers.

Creation

Syntax

CDSBlackPricerObj = finpricer(PricerType,'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'Model',model,'DefaultProbabilityCurve',defaultprobabilitycurve_obj)

Description

CDSBlackPricerObj = finpricer(PricerType,'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'Model',model,'DefaultProbabilityCurve',defaultprobabilitycurve_obj) creates a CDSBlack pricer object by specifying PricerType and the required name-value pair arguments for DiscountCurve, Model, and DefaultProbabilityCurve to set properties using name-value pairs. For example, CDSBlackPricerObj = finpricer("Analytic",'Model',CDSBlack,'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'DefaultProbabilityCurve',defaultprobabilitycurve_obj) creates a CDSBlack pricer object.

Input Arguments

PricerType — Pricer type

string with value "Analytic" | character vector with value 'Analytic'

Pricer type, specified as a string with the value of "Analytic" or the character vector with a value of 'Analytic'.

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify required pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: CDSBlackPricerObj = finpricer("Analytic",'Model',CDSBlack,'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'DefaultProbabilityCurve',defaultprobabilitycurve_obj)
