estim_nss.dyncouponbonds: S3 Estim_nss method

In termstrc: Zero-coupon Yield Curve Estimation

Description

The method performs an iterative term structure estimation procedure on a dynamic bond data set of the class "dyncouponbonds". Available methods are Nelson/Siegel, Diebold/Li and (adjusted) Svensson.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'dyncouponbonds'
estim_nss(dataset, group, matrange = "all", method = "ns",
 lambda = 0.0609 * 12, tauconstr = NULL, optimtype = "firstglobal", 
constrOptimOptions = list(control = list(maxit = 2000), 
outer.iterations = 200, outer.eps = 1e-04), ...)

Arguments

dataset	dynamic bond data set of the class "dyncouponbonds".
group	vector defining the group of bonds used for the estimation, e.g., c("GERMANY","AUSTRIA").
matrange	use "all" for no restrictions, or restrict the maturity range (in years) used for the estimation with c(lower,upper).
method	"ns" for Nelson/Siegel (default), "dl" for Diebold/Li, "sv" for Svensson or "asv" for adjusted Svensson.
lambda	parameter on a yearly time scale with fixed value for "dl" spot rate function (default: 0.0609*12)
tauconstr
optimtype	use "firstglobal" for an inital search for globally optimal start parameters or "allglobal" for a search at every iteration.
constrOptimOptions	list with solver control parameters (default: control=list(), outer.interations=30, outer.eps.=1e-04). For further documentation please refer to optim
...	further arguments

Details

The method iteratively applies the method "estim_nss.couponbonds".

Value

The method returns an object of the class "dyntermstrc_nss". The object is a list with sublists of the class "termstrc_nss".
