Calibration of BGM to Caps

December 29th, 2006, 12:29 am

Hi all,I have got the black volatilities for 1y, 2y, 3y, 5y, 7y and 10y caps and would like to use them to calibrate the LIBOR market model. Yet, how should I extract the caplet volatilities from the caps as they are semi-annually reset? Is interpolation a must? Which interpolation method is the best?Many thanks!
