curvezc: Zero Coupon Curve: constructor
In ArnaudBu/esg2: Esg Based on a G2++ Model

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

curvezc creates a zero coupon curve object.

1	curvezc(rates, method)

rates

Vector. List of rates from maturity 1 to horizon continuously.

method

Character. Computation method:

"continuous": continuous rate. Default value.
"actuarial": actuarial rate.
"libor": libor rate.

Rates are assumed to go from period time 1 to period time equal to the length of the vector. For example, for a rate curve equal to c(0.01, 0.015, 0.02), the period considered are c(1,2,3).
