Coerce to InterestRate

Source: R/interest-rate-classes.R

You can coerce objects to the InterestRate class using this method.

as_InterestRate(x, ...)

# S3 method for DiscountFactor
as_InterestRate(x, compounding, day_basis, ...)

# S3 method for InterestRate
as_InterestRate(x, compounding = NULL,
  day_basis = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

object to coerce
...

other parameters passed to methods
compounding

a numeric vector representing the compounding frequency.
day_basis

a character vector representing the day basis associated with the interest rate (see fmdates::year_frac())

Value

an InterestRate object

Examples

library("lubridate")
as_InterestRate(DiscountFactor(0.95, ymd(20130101), ymd(20140101)),
  compounding = 2, day_basis = "act/365")
#> <InterestRate> 5.19567%, SEMI-ANNUAL, ACT/365 
as_InterestRate(InterestRate(c(0.04, 0.05), c(2, 4), 'act/365'),
  compounding = 4, day_basis = 'act/365')
#> <InterestRate> 3.980198%, QUARTERLY, ACT/365
#> <InterestRate> 5.000000%, QUARTERLY, ACT/365
