- What general approaches could you recommend for modeling spot rates(for different maturities) and forward rates?(eg for LIBOR)
- I need to generate scenarios for term-structure of interest rates.
- What is an optimal way to generate scenarios for interest rates when the number of scenarios is restricted(# of paths is bounded)? I want to build optimal ensemble of trajectories.

$\begingroup$ This question is too broad / not specific. Can you please elaborate on the context, i.e. what are you trying to do, is this for a Monte Carlo simulation, what is the asset type, what are your risk factors? $\endgroup$– jaamorAug 24, 2015 at 20:48

$\begingroup$ Hi, jamoor. Thanks for your answer. I've corrected the question. $\endgroup$– Vlad PimkinAug 26, 2015 at 20:04

$\begingroup$ The question is still too broad, there are books on this :-) As for 3 if you're referring to numerical efficiency then try in general variance reduction methods; among those applicable in most contexts are stratified sampling or (its advanced high-dimensional version) Quasi Monte Carlo, they can be very tricky though. $\endgroup$– QuartzAug 28, 2015 at 11:38

$\begingroup$ @Quartz is right, I would like to propose this question in two parts: (1, 2) and 3. This will still be broad but I hope answerable. $\endgroup$– Bob Jansen ♦Aug 28, 2015 at 11:40
