## Detailed Description

Default-density term structure.

This abstract class acts as an adapter to DefaultProbabilityTermStructure allowing the programmer to implement only the `defaultDensityImpl(Time)` method in derived classes.

Survival/default probabilities and hazard rates are calculated from default densities.

Warning:
  This default implementation uses numerical integration, which might be inefficient and inaccurate. Derived classes should override it if a more efficient implementation is available.
