- ESAS Technical Documentation. A detailed general description of mathematical models, methods, and validation tests that were used to generate Scenarios Data, and Calibration and Validation Report.
For more practical information, see the ESAS practical guide. In case you are looking for the key technical details please contact us and we will provide you with technical specification.
Sample Example of ESAS Outputs
1000 interest rate scenarios for the horizon of 20 years. The resulting scenarios include two instruments, discount factor discounting from a future time to the present time and scenarios of zero yields of bonds with 5 years to maturity.
