Modified duration, on the other hand, is a derivative ( rate of change ) or price sensitivity and measures the percentage rate of change of price with respect to yield.

Modified duration is defined as the logarithmic derivative of price with respect to yield, and such a definition will apply to instruments that depend on yields, whether or not the cash flows are fixed.

Modified duration is defined above as a derivative ( as the term relates to calculus ) and so is based on infinitesimal changes.
