The approach may also be used to generalize more conventional binomial tree models to incorporate sure features, if desired. Matching to the initial term structure of interest rates remains under investigation.}, issn = {1059-8596}, URL = {https://jfi.pm-research.com/content/9/2/76}, eprint = {https://jfi.pm-research.com/content/9/2/76.full.pdf}, journal = {The Journal of Fixed Income} }
