1//! Smith-Wilson extrapolation (EIOPA regulatory standard).
2//!
3//! This module implements the Smith-Wilson extrapolation method as specified
4//! by EIOPA for Solvency II risk-free rate curves.

8/// Smith-Wilson extrapolation for regulatory yield curves.
9///
10/// The Smith-Wilson method is the regulatory standard for extrapolating
11/// risk-free rate curves under Solvency II (EIOPA). It ensures smooth
12/// convergence from the Last Liquid Point (LLP) to the Ultimate Forward
13/// Rate (UFR) at long maturities.
14///
15/// # EIOPA Standard Parameters
16///
17/// | Currency | UFR | LLP | Alpha |
18/// |----------|-----|-----|-------|
19/// | EUR | 3.45% | 20Y | 0.126 |
20/// | GBP | 3.45% | 50Y | 0.100 |
21/// | USD | 3.45% | 30Y | 0.100 |
22/// | CHF | 3.45% | 25Y | 0.100 |
23///
24/// Note: UFR values are updated annually by EIOPA. Values shown are as of 2024.
25///
26/// # Properties
27///
28/// - **Regulatory compliant**: Matches EIOPA specification
29/// - **Smooth convergence**: C∞ continuity
30/// - **UFR target**: Converges to Ultimate Forward Rate
31/// - **Speed control**: Alpha parameter controls convergence speed
32///
33/// # Convergence Behavior
34///
35/// The forward rate converges to UFR according to:
36/// - At LLP: forward rate equals observed market rate
37/// - At LLP + 40Y: forward rate within 3bp of UFR (EIOPA convergence criterion)
38/// - At infinity: forward rate equals UFR exactly
39///
40/// # Example
41///
42/// ```rust
43/// use convex_math::extrapolation::{SmithWilson, Extrapolator};
44///
45/// // EUR parameters (EIOPA 2024)
46/// let sw = SmithWilson::new(0.0345, 0.126, 20.0);
47///
48/// // Extrapolate from 20Y (LLP) to 60Y
49/// let rate_60y = sw.extrapolate(60.0, 20.0, 0.03, 0.001);
50///
51/// // The rate should be moving towards UFR (3.45%)
52/// assert!(rate_60y > 0.03); // Moving up towards UFR
53/// ```
