Cox, Ingersoll, Ross Option-Pricing Model

Definition

Mathematical formula for pricing interest rate options. A single factor (and not binomial) model, it is based on the assumption that the movement of short-term interest rates fits the pattern of a square root diffusion model with mean reversion, and does not permit negative interest rates.
