How to get forward rate volatilities

amar singh
Given SwaptionHelper and Termstructure objects calibrated using JamshidianSwaption on the HullWhite model(as mentioned in BermudanSwaption.cpp example ), how can I get the forward rate volatities for different points in the term structure? Or,is it an invalid question??
 
 
Thanks,
Amar

Amar,
         the question is valid. Right now I'm not able to give you a
detailed recipe, but once you have

     Handle<OneFactorModel> hullWhite;

I think your best bet is to use

     model->dynamics();

and

     model->dynamics()->process();

to get the expectation value and variance of the underlying state variable.
 From there, some analytics (look into the interest-rate model book closest
t your desk) should give you the corresponding quantities for the short
rate and the forward rates.

Hope this helps,
