Bond Pricing Based on Nelson-Siegel Model ——An Analysis of Varied Parameter τ Introduction Nelson and Siegel (1987) suggest to fit the forward rate curve at a given date with a mathematical class of approximating functions. The model precisely reflects the expected YTM with a flexible yield curve in the Term Structure Theorem.
