Forward Rate Curve Smoothing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews the forward rate curve smoothing literature. The key contribution of this review is to link the static curve fitting exercise to the dynamic and arbitrage-free models of the term structure of interest rates. As such, this review introduces more economics to an almost exclusively mathematical exercise, and it identifies new areas for research related to forward rate curve smoothing.

The effect of parallel OTC-DVP bond market introduction on yield curve volatility
The goal of this paper is to analyze the effect of OTC-DVP (over the counter delivery versus payment) fixed income market introduction in Slovenia on the term structure estimation and on the volatility of zero coupon yields and forward interest rates. For the purpose of the analysis Slovenian zero coupon and forward curves were estimated. The model used for yield curve estimation was Nelson-Sie...
متن کاملUse of Two Smoothing Parameters in Penalized Spline Estimator for Bi-variate Predictor Non-parametric Regression Model
Penalized spline criteria involve the function of goodness of fit and penalty, which in the penalty function contains smoothing parameters. It serves to control the smoothness of the curve that works simultaneously with point knots and spline degree. The regression function with two predictors in the non-parametric model will have two different non-parametric regression functions. Therefore, we...
متن کاملHow Far Are Automatically Chosen Regression Smoothing Parameters from Their Optimum?
· ABSTRACT In the setting of nonparametric curve estimation the problem of smoothing parameter selection is addressed. The deviation between the the squared error optimal smoothing parameter and the smoothing parameters provided by a number of automatic selection methods is studied both theoretically and by simUlation. The theoretical results include a central limit theorem which shows both the...
متن کاملCurvature-based offset distance: Implementations and applications
We address three related problems. The first problem is to change the volume of a solid by a prescribed amount, while minimizing Hausdorff error. This is important for compensating volume change due to smoothing, subdivision, or advection. The second problem is to preserve the individual areas of infinitely small chunks of a planar shape, as the shape is deformed to follow the gentle bending of...
متن کاملDiscussion of “ Boosting Algorithms : Regularization , Prediction and Model Fitting ” by Peter Bühlmann and Torsten Hothorn
We congratulate the authors (hereafter BH) for an interesting take on the boosting technology, and for developing a modular computational environment in R for exploring their models. Their use of low-degree-of-freedom smoothing splines as a base learner provides an interesting approach to adaptive additive modeling. The notion of “Twin Boosting” is interesting as well; besides the adaptive lass...
