This example shows how to specify a four-period CRR tree with time steps of 1 year.

ValuationDate = '1-July-2002';
Maturity = '1-July-2006';
TimeSpec = crrtimespec(ValuationDate, Maturity, 4)
TimeSpec = struct with fields:
           FinObj: 'BinTimeSpec'
    ValuationDate: 731398
         Maturity: 732859
       NumPeriods: 4
            Basis: 0
     EndMonthRule: 1
             tObs: [0 1 2 3 4]
             dObs: [731398 731763 732128 732493 732859]
