How to express the Black Derman & Toy Model in a $dr=A\,dt+B\, dW$ form?
The Black Derman & Toy (BDT) model is given by
$$d(\ln\,r)=\left(\theta(t)-\frac {d(\ln\sigma(t))}{dt}\ln r\right)\,dt+\sigma(t) \, dW.$$
How can one rewrite the BDT model as $dr=A\,dt+B\, dW$, ...

BDT model implementation
I am looking for a nice and readable description of how to implement BDT model: $d log(r(t)) = [\theta(t)-\frac{\sigma'(t)}{\sigma(t)}log(r(t))]dt + \sigma(t) dW$.
I assume I already have steady-...
