Black-Derman-Toy Tree Setup
The Black-Derman-Toy (BDT) model is a discrete-time, binomial tree framework that allows for the modeling of the evolution of interest rates over time. Setup a BDT interest-rate tree model using the following functions:
Functions
| bdttimespec | Specify time structure for Black-Derman-Toy interest-rate tree | 
| bdttree | Build Black-Derman-Toy interest-rate tree | 
| bdtvolspec | Specify Black-Derman-Toy interest-rate volatility process |
