I know in order to price Bermudan swaption, the joint distribution of co-terminal swap rates at their setting dates is important. We would want to capture the correct marginal distribution and terminal correlation of co-terminal swap rates. The marginal distribution is relatively easy to be recovered by calibrating to the co-terminal swaption market price. My question is how to calibrate to the terminal correlation of swap rates in ONE-FACTOR LIBOR market model (I know it's not desirable to use such model to price bermudan, but this is just a question). Or no need to fit to terminal correlation, but just fit to part of swaption matrix? Thanks.
