I'm currently looking to implement some version of the yield curve modeling techniques in the maximum smoothness framework. The papers I have found so far explains the theory pretty well, but I find them somewhat hard to replicate. Does anyone here know any easy-to-replicate papers on the topic? The ones I have read so far are:
- Fitting yield curves and forward rate curves with maximum smoothness - Adams, Van Deventer, 1994
- Positive forward rates in the maximum smoothness framework - Manzano, Blomvall, 2004
Thanks in advance for any input :)
