Bootstrapping Fwd Vols from CF Volas

Andreas Spengler-2
Hi,

is there a helper class in QL allowing the bootstrapping of forward
volas (presumably needed in the QL implementation of the LMM) from
implicit C/F Volas?

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Roland,

thanks for the heads up; from looking at the class documentation there
remains the question how to align the optionlet term structure with that
of the LMM fixing dates?

Would I have to align the tenors of the associatead cap/floor vola
surface to achieve this?

Are the resulting optionlet volas valid input for the LMM volatilities?
What does the parameter to the optionletStrikes() and
optionletVolatilities() methods do?

And what function does the IborIndex parameter have?

Rgds,
Andreas
