Nine modeling techiques illustrated & compared: Nelson-Siegel, polynomial, Svensson, Vasicek, Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, local polynomial, cubic B-spline, and smoothing spline.
U.S. treasury yields on May 31, 1990 are modeled, data located in file Diablod_Li_data.txt
InterestRate.Rmd written in Rmarkdown, R programming & Latex, knitted to Pdf with Rstudio and knitr package
InterestRate.Rmd expects Diablod_Li_data.txt to exist in a "data" subdirectory
