One-Factor Interest-Rate Models and the Valuation of Interest-Rate Derivative Securities

This paper compares different approaches to developing arbitrage-free models of the term structure. It presents a numerical procedure that can be used to construct a wide range of one-factor models of the short rate that are both Markov and consistent with the initial term structure of interest rates.
