Calibration Checkist

March 18th, 2021, 1:40 pm

Hello, 

Is there any standard calibration-checklist for the calibration of interest rate models? 

I am checking convergence of the optimization algorithm, errors in prices, errors in volatility, price bias and volatility bias. Is it sufficient?

thanks,
K

Don't just calibrate prices, also calibrate to derivatives of 1st and 2nd order. That's the real deal.
