1 Calibratio of the Vasicek Model: A Step by Step Guide Victor Beral A. April, 06 victor.beral@mathmods.eu Abstract I this report we preset 3 methods for calibratig the OrsteiUhlebeck process to a data set. The model is described ad the sesitivity aalysis with respect to chages i the parameters is performed. I particular the Least Squares Method, the Maximum Likelihood Method ad the Log Term Quatile Method are preseted i detail. Itroductio The OrsteiUhlebeck process [3] amed after Leoard Orstei ad George Eugee Uhlebeck, is a stochastic process that, over time, teds to drift towards its log-term mea: such a process is called mearevertig. It ca also be cosidered as the cotiuous-time aalogue of the discrete-time AR process where there is a tedecy of the walk to move back towards a cetral locatio, with a greater attractio whe the process is further away from the ceter. Vasicek assumed that the istataeous spot Iterest Rate uder the real world measure evolves as a Orstei- Uhlebeck process with costat coeciets [5]. The most importat feature which this model exhibits is the mea reversio,which meas that if the iterest rate is bigger tha the log ru mea µ, the the coeciet λ makes the drift become egative so that the rate will be pulled dow i the directio of µ. Similarly, if the iterest rate is smaller tha the log ru mea. Therefore, the coeciet λ is the speed of adjustmet of the iterest rate towards its log ru level. This model is of particulaterest i ace because there are also compellig ecoomic argumets i favor of mea reversio. Whe the rates are high, the ecoomy teds to slow dow ad borrowers require less fuds. Furthermore, the rates pull back to its equilibrium value ad the rates declie. O the cotrary whe the rates are low, there teds to be high demad for fuds o the part of the borrowers ad rates ted to icrease. Oe ufortuate cosequece of a ormally distributed iterest rate is that it is possible for the iterest rate to become egative. I this article we start from the Euler Maruyaa discretizatio scheme for the Vasicek process ad the sesitivity aalysis, the we preset i detail 3 well kow methods Least squares Method, Maximum Likelihood Method ad the Log Term Quatile Method for calibratig the model's parameter to a data set. We also refer the reader to [4] where some of these techiques are applied but usig a dieret scheme. Euler Scheme ad Sesitivity Aalysis The stochastic dieretial equatio SDE for the Orstei-Uhlebeck process is give by dr t λ µ r t dt + σdw t. with λ the mea reversio rate, µ the mea, ad σ the volatility. The solutio of the model is ˆt r t r 0 exp λt + µ exp λt + σ 0 exp λt dw t. Here the iterest rates are ormally distributed ad the expectatio ad variace are give by
2 ad E o [r t ] r 0 exp λt + µ exp λt.3 V ar [r t ] σ exp λt.4 λ as t, the limit of expected rate ad variace, will coverge to µ ad σ λ respectively. The Euler Maruyaa Scheme for this models is r t+δt r t + λ µ r t δt + σ δtn 0,.5 the process ca go egative with probability P r t+δt 0 P r t + λ µ r t δt + σ δtn 0, 0 rt + λ µ r t δt P N 0, σ δt Φ r t + λ µ r t δt σ δt Some of the parameters play a big role i the pricig of a acial derivatives o the forecastig of a process, while some of them do ot aect them so much. Therefore, depedig o what we wat to price or forecast, it is importat to check the sesitivity of the models with respect to dieret parameters. The correspodig sesitivity aalysis is performed as preseted i [6]. Lets cosider a two outcomes of a process which dier exclusively i a perturbatio of oe of the parameters but they have the same stochastic realizatio N 0,, the for λ we have that so r t+δt r t + [λ + λ] µ r t δt + σ δtn 0,.9 r t+δt r t+δt λ µ r t δt.0 whe λ is icreased the variace.4 decreases. So, the chage i the reversio coeciet will ot aect the short rate.3 i log term, just eect the time which is ecessary for the iterest rate to come back to the log term mea. Therefore, λ is importat i the pricig of the acial istrumets which are aected by the volatility.4, but are ot depedet o the log term expected value.3 of the simulated iterest rate. For µ is performed as so for σ is performed as r t+δt r t + λ [µ + µ] r t δt + σ δtn 0,. r t+δt r t+δt λ µ r t δt. so r t+δt r t + λ µ r t δt + [σ + σ] δtn 0,.3 r t+δt r t+δt σ δtn 0,.4 Because of the stadard Browia motio, i the log term, the eect of the chage i σ does ot aect the expected value of the iterest rate.3, but it icreases the variace.4. %% Euler Scheme Vasicek clc clear a l l close a l l %% Set t h e seed at 3
