Vasicek Short rate simulation - analytical formula vs discretization
I've been using two approaches to simulate Vasicek short rate paths and I'm wondering if one of them is more correct than the other.
The first approach is based on the analytical formula (see code ...

How do I pricing a ZCB using CIR (Cox-Ingersoll-Ross) model
Please see the codes below
My question is about input parameters (a, b and sigma)and their calculation.
For the long term mean "b", do we use effective Fed Fund rates? or 3m T-bills?
Also, ...

CIR model. Is there a closed-form solution or even a good proxy of analytical solution?
Is there a closed-form (analytical) solution for the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross SDE
\begin{equation}
dr_t=k_r(\theta_r-r_t)dt+\sigma_r\sqrt{r_t}dW_t\tag{1}
\end{equation}
?
Notice that $\{r_t\}$ is our ...
