AccrInt (calculation of accrued interest)

Description

AccrInt returns the amount of interest accrued from some starting date up to some end date and the number of days of interest on the end date.

Usage

AccrInt(
  StartDate = as.Date(NA),

  Coup = as.numeric(NA),
  DCC = as.numeric(NA),
  RV = as.numeric(NA),
  CpY = as.numeric(NA),

===================	========================================

Assuming that there is no accrued interest on StartDate the function AccrInt computes the amount of interest accrued up to EndDate under the terms of the specified day count convention DCC. The function returns a list of two numerics AccrInt, and DaysAccrued. If InputCheck = 1 the input variables are checked for the correct format. The core feature of this function is the proper handling of the day count conventions presented below. The type of the day count convention determines the amount of the accrued interest that has to be paid by the buyer in the secondary market if the settlement takes place between two coupon payment dates.

• Many different day count conventions are used in the market. Since there is no central authority that develops these conventions there is no standardized nomenclature. The tables below provide alternative names that often are used for the respective conventions. Type View(List.DCC) for a list of the day count methods currently implemented.

• Detailed descriptions of the conventions and their application may be found in Djatschenko (2018), and the other provided references.

AnnivDates (time-invariant properties and temporal structure)

Description

AnnivDates returns a bond's time-invariant characteristics and temporal structure as a list of three or four named data frames.

Usage

AnnivDates(
  Em = as.Date(NA),
  Mat = as.Date(NA),
  CpY = as.numeric(NA),
  FIPD = as.Date(NA),
  LIPD = as.Date(NA),
  FIAD = as.Date(NA),
  RV = as.numeric(NA),
  Coup = as.numeric(NA),
  DCC = as.numeric(NA),
  EOM = as.numeric(NA),
  DateOrigin = as.Date("1970-01-01"),
  InputCheck = 1,
  FindEOM = FALSE,
  RegCF.equal = 0
)

Arguments

Em	The bond's issue date. (required)
Mat	Maturity date, i.e. date on which the redemption value and the final interest are paid. (required)
CpY	Number of interest payments per year (non-negative integer; element of the set {0,1,2,3,4,6,12}. Default: 2.
FIPD	First interest payment date after Em.
LIPD	Last interest payment date prior to Mat.
FIAD	Date on which the interest accrual starts (so-called "dated date").
RV	The redemption value of the bond. Default: 100.
Coup	Nominal interest rate per year in percent. Default: NA.
DCC	The day count convention the bond follows. Default: NA. For a list of day count conventions currently implemented type View(List.DCC).
EOM	Boolean indicating whether the bond follows the End-of-Month rule. Default: NA.
DateOrigin	Determines the starting point for the daycount in "Date" objects. Default: "1970-01-01".
InputCheck	If 1, the input variables are checked for the correct format. Default: 1.
FindEOM	If TRUE, EOM is overridden by the value inferred from the data. Default: FALSE.
RegCF.equal	If 0, the amounts of regular cash flows are calculated according to the stipulated DCC. Any other value forces all regular cash flows to be equal sized. Default: 0.

Details

AnnivDates generates a list of the three data frames Warnings, Traits and DateVectors. If the variable Coup is passed to the function, the output contains additionally the data frame PaySched. AnnivDates is meant to analyze large data frames. Therefore some features are implemented to evaluate the quality of the data. The output of these features is stored in the data frame Warnings. Please see section Value for a detailed description of the tests run and the meaning of the variables in Warnings. The data frame Traits contains all time-invariant bond characteristics that were either provided by the user or calculated by the function. The data frame DateVectors contains three vectors of Date-Objects named RealDates, CoupDates and AnnivDates and three vectors of numerics named RD_indexes, CD_indexes and AD_indexes. These vectors are used in the other functions of this package according to the methodology presented in Djatschenko (2018). The data frame PaySched matches CoupDates to the actual amount of interest that the bond pays on the respective interest payment date. Section Value provides further information on the output of the function AnnivDates. Below information on the proper input format is provided. Subsequently follows information on the operating principle of the function AnnivDates and on the assumptions that are met to estimate the points in time needed to evaluate a bond.

• The dates Em, Mat, FIPD, LIPD and FIAD can be provided as

  1. "Date" with format "%Y-%m-%d", or

  2. "numeric" with the appropriate DateOrigin, or

  3. number of class "character" with the appropriate DateOrigin, or

  4. string of class "character" in the format "yyyy-mm-dd".

  CpY, RV and Coup can be provided either as class "numeric" or as a number of class "character".

• The provided issue date (Em) is instantly substituted by the first interest accrual date (FIAD) if FIAD is available and different from Em.

• Before the determination of the bond's date characteristics begins, the code evaluates the provided calendar dates for plausibility. In this process implausible dates are dropped. The sort of corresponding implausibility is identified and stored in a warning flag. (See section Value for details.)

• The remaining valid calendar dates are used to gauge whether the bond follows the End-of-Month-Rule. The resulting parameter est_EOM can take on the following values:

  -

  Case 1:	FIPD and LIPD are both NA
  ___________	____________________________________
  est_EOM = 1	, if Mat is the last day of a month.
  est_EOM = 0	, else.
  ==========	================================

  -

  Case 2:	FIPD is NA and LIPD is a valid calendar date
  ___________	____________________________________
  est_EOM = 1	, if LIPD is the last day of a month.
  est_EOM = 0	, else.
  ==========	================================

  -

  Case 3:	FIPD is a valid calendar date and LIPD is NA
  ___________	____________________________________
  est_EOM = 1	, if FIPD is the last day of a month.
  est_EOM = 0	, else.
  ==========	================================

  -

  Case 4:	FIPD and LIPD are valid calendar dates
  ___________	____________________________________
  est_EOM = 1	, if LIPD is the last day of a month.
  est_EOM = 0	, else.
  ==========	================================

• If EOM is initially missing or NA or not element of {0,1}, EOM is set est_EOM with a warning.

• If the initially provided value of EOM deviates from est_EOM, the following two cases apply:

  ________	_________________________________________
  Case 1:	If EOM = 0 and est_EOM = 1:
  	EOM is not overridden and remains EOM = 0
  ________	_________________________________________
  Case 2:	If EOM = 1 and est_EOM = 0:
  	EOM is overridden and set EOM = 0 with a warning.
  	Keeping EOM = 1 in this case would conflict with
  	the provided Mat, FIPD or LIPD.
  ________	_________________________________________
  Note:	Set the option FindEOM=TRUE to always use
  	est_EOM found by the code.
  =======	====================================

• If FIPD and LIPD are both available, the lengths of the first and final coupon periods are determinate and can be "regular", "long" or "short". To find the interest payment dates between FIPD and LIPD the following assumptions are met:

  1. The interest payment dates between FIPD and LIPD are
       evenly distributed.

  2. The value of EOM determines the location of
       all interest payment dates.

  If assumption 1 is violated, the exact locatations of the interest payment dates between FIPD and LIPD are ambiguous. The assumption is violated particularly, if

  1. FIPD and LIPD are in the same month of the same year but not on the same day, or

  2. the month difference between FIPD and LIPD is not a multiple of the number of months implied by CpY, or

  3. FIPD and LIPD are not both last day in month, their day figures differ and the day figure difference between FIPD and LIPD is not due to different month lengths.

  In each of the three cases, FIPD and LIPD are dropped with the flag IPD_CpY_Corrupt = 1.

• If neither FIPD nor LIPD are available the code evaluates the bond based only upon the required variables Em and Mat (and CpY, which is 2 by default). Since FIPD is not given, it is impossible to distinguish between a "short" and "long" odd first coupon period, without an assumption on the number of interest payment dates. Consequently the first coupon period is assumed to be either "regular" or "short". The locations of FIPD and LIPD are estimated under the following assumptions:

  1. The final coupon period is "regular".

  2. The interest payment dates between the estimated
       FIPD and Mat are evenly distributed.

  3. The value of EOM determines the location of
       all interest payment dates.

• If LIPD is available but FIPD is not, the length of the final coupon payment period is determined by LIPD and Mat and can be "regular", "long" or "short". The locations of the interest payment dates are estimated under the following assumptions:

  1. The first coupon period is either "regular" or "short".

  2. The interest payment dates between the estimated
       FIPD and LIPD are evenly distributed.

  3. The value of EOM determines the location of
       all interest payment dates.

• If FIPD is available but LIPD is not, the length of the first coupon payment period is determined by Em and FIPD and can be "regular", "long" or "short". The locations of the interest payment dates are estimated under the following assumptions:

  1. The final coupon period is either "regular" or "short".

  2. The interest payment dates between FIPD and
       the estimated LIPD are evenly distributed.

  3. The value of EOM determines the location of
       all interest payment dates.

Value

All dates are returned irrespective of whether they are on a business day or not.
