This paper presents some results of the yield curve (YC) estimation method proposed in ([Sim]). We focus on the Czech …, however, from a large bid-ask or YTM spreads, a fact that reflects itself in the YC estimation errors. Some 700 YCs were … computed and histograms of yield estimation errors and of YC smoothness are given. Of interest is the comparison of the Czech …
