Method Detail

getForward

double getForward(AnalyticModel model,
                  double fixingTime)

Returns the forward for the corresponding fixing time.

Parameters:

model - An analytic model providing a context. Some curves do not need this (can be null).

fixingTime - The fixing time of the index associated with this forward curve.

Returns:

The forward.

getForward

double getForward(AnalyticModel model,
                  double fixingTime,
                  double paymentOffset)

Returns the forward for the corresponding fixing time and paymentOffset.

Parameters:

model - An analytic model providing a context. Some curves do not need this (can be null).

fixingTime - The fixing time of the index associated with this forward curve.

paymentOffset - The payment offset (as internal day count fraction) specifying the payment of this index. Used only as a fallback and/or consistency check.

Returns:

The forward.

getDiscountCurveName

String getDiscountCurveName()

Returns:

The name of the discount curve associated with this forward curve (e.g. OIS for collateralized forwards)

getPaymentOffset

double getPaymentOffset(double fixingTime)

Returns the payment offset associated with this forward curve and a corresponding fixingTime.

Parameters:

fixingTime - The fixing time of the index associated with this forward curve.

Returns:

The payment offset associated with this forward curve.
