Hi, Dirk:
Will Quantlib now support the Nelson / Siegel / Svensson and
spline models for the term structure of interest rates, as does the
"termstrc" package (and as documented in the companion paper, Ferstl
and Hayden 2008 "Zero Coupon Yield Curve Estimation with the Package
termstrc" http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1307149)?
The quantlib library which RQuantlib wraps includes log-linear interpolation for term structure. I think that the "termstrc" package will remain an important part of the toolkit for anyone working in with fixed income instruments. I've also used the "CreditMetrics" package as part of developing default scenarios for corporate credit. Regards, - Brian
