Analyze Yield Curves

Analyze interest-rate yield curve to determine zero, discount, forward, and par curves

The yield curve shows the relationship between the interest rate and the time to maturity for a given borrower in a given currency. The Financial Instruments Toolbox™ provides additional functionality to fit yield curves to market data using parametric fitting models and bootstrapping, estimate parameters and analyze different type of interest-rate curves. For more information, see Build and Analyze Curve Models (Financial Instruments Toolbox).
