Read the following work proposal from Writing Effective Work Proposals by Ted Knoy for a finance-related (財務相關分類) project:
An increasing number of interest rate derivative products
[ ( xiv )
priced by the forward interest rate have highlighted the
empirical challenges of fitting forward rate yield curves to
current market data. However, conventional methods, which
] [ ( ii )
only focus on fitting a yield curve and transforming it into a
forward rate curve, result in an unreasonable, extremely high or
negative forward rate, such as 150% and -60%, respectively.
] [ ( xxv ) ]
Pricing interest rate derivatives by adopting these
[ ( xii )
inappropriate fitting forward rate methods will result in large
deviations from market data.
]
Based on the above, we should develop a novel numerical model,
[ ( iv )
capable of directly deriving a reasonable forward rate curve in
one explicit function to correlate well with market data. To do
] [
so, when including observable points, the forward rate curve of
( x )
the proposed model can be expressed as a function of a
specified form with a finite number of parameters. The
maximum smoothness term can then be found within this
parametric family to derive the model. As anticipated, the
proposed methods can provide the smoothest possible forward
( vi )
rate curve which is consistent with the chosen functional form
and correlates with all observed market data on the yield curve.
Moreover, the proposed model can also provide an innovative
[ ( xvi )
means of directly fitting the forward rate with maximum
smoothness and precision, providing a valuable solution for
pricing interest rate derivatives.
