Abstract:

This paper discusses two types of basic interest rate models: the Vasicek model and CoxIngersoll-Ross model. The mathematics behind interest rate modeling is extremely complex, so this paper does not review proofs of the stochastic processes behind these models. Instead, the paper focuses on various techniques to estimate the parameters of the models. It also discusses the difficulties in creating and implementing these models using Microsoft Excel.
