Calibrate Vasicek Short Rate Model
Calibrate the Vasicek short rate model parameters (a, b, sigma) to match an observed zero rate curve. The Vasicek model is dr = a(b - r)dt + sigma dW, where a is mean reversion speed, b is long-term mean rate, and sigma is volatility. This is a fundamental interest rate model used for derivatives pricing, risk management, and scenario generation. The calibration finds parameters that best fit market rates. Used for interest rate derivatives, ALM, and risk analysis. [Tier: PRO, Credits: 5]
