public class DigitalCaplet
extends AbstractLIBORMonteCarloProduct

Implements the valuation of a digital caplet using a given LIBORModelMonteCarloSimulationModel. The digital caplet pays periodLength if L > K and else 0. Here L = L(T_i,T_i+1;t) is the forward rate with period start T_i and period end T_i+1 and fixing t. K denotes the strike rate.

Constructor Detail

DigitalCaplet

public DigitalCaplet(double optionMaturity,
                     double periodStart,
                     double periodEnd,
                     double strike)

Create a digital caplet with given maturity and strike.

Parameters:

optionMaturity - The option maturity.

periodStart - The period start of the forward rate.

periodEnd - The period end of the forward rate.

strike - The strike rate.

Method Detail

getValue

public RandomVariable getValue(double evaluationTime,
                               LIBORModelMonteCarloSimulationModel model)
                        throws CalculationException

This method returns the value random variable of the product within the specified model, evaluated at a given evalutationTime. Note: For a lattice this is often the value conditional to evalutationTime, for a Monte-Carlo simulation this is the (sum of) value discounted to evaluation time. Cashflows prior evaluationTime are not considered.

Specified by:

getValue in interface TermStructureMonteCarloProduct

Specified by:

getValue in class AbstractLIBORMonteCarloProduct

Parameters:

evaluationTime - The time on which this products value should be observed.

model - The model used to price the product.

Returns:

The random variable representing the value of the product discounted to evaluation time

Throws:

CalculationException - Thrown if the valuation fails, specific cause may be available via the cause() method.
