Description

example

Model = finmodel(ModelType,Name,Value) creates a Model object based on ModelType creates a model object specified by ModelType and specifies model options using one or more name-value pair arguments.

For more information on the workflow for creating an instrument object, a model object, and a pricer object, see Get Started with Workflows Using Object-Based Framework for Pricing Financial Instruments.

Use finmodel to create a SABR model object.

SabrModel = finmodel("SABR",'Alpha',0.032,'Beta',0.04, 'Rho', .08, 'Nu', 0043,'Shift',0.002)
SabrModel = 
  SABR with properties:

             Alpha: 0.0320
              Beta: 0.0400
               Rho: 0.0800
                Nu: 43
             Shift: 0.0020
    VolatilityType: "black"

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional 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: Model = finmodel("Black",Name,Value)

The available name-value pair arguments depend on the value you specify for ModelType.
