Abstract

Interest rate modelling is an interesting aspect of stochastic processes. It has been observed that interest rates fluctuates at random times, hence the need for its modelling as a stochastic process. In this paper, we apply the existing Vasicek model, Itô’s lemma and least-square regression method in the modelling and providing dynamics for a given interest rate.
