DRF.5F.rates: Estimation of spot rates with the De Rezende-Ferreira 5...

In DeRezende.Ferreira: Zero Coupon Yield Curve Modelling

Description

The command estimates the spot rates using the De Rezende-Ferreira 5 Factor model

Usage

DRF.5F.rates(beta, maturity)

Arguments

beta	Matrix or Vector of class "zoo", which contains the coefficients of the De Rezende-Ferreira 5 Factor model: ≤ft( β_{0t},β_{1t}, β_{2t}, β_{3t}, β_{4t}, τ_{1t}, τ_{2t} \right)
maturity	Vector of class "numeric", wich contains the maturities

Value

An object of class "xts" - "zoo", which contains fitted interest rates
