I am trying to fit the bond market data to the Nelson-Siegel term structure model. I have a series of bond price data, most of them are coupon bonds. According to the original Nelson-Siegel model setting, my objective is trying to get the paremeters that minimize the weighted/unweighted sum of price errors squared. So, is there any simple way in R or any package that can do this job? I do not know any about non-linear optimization, so what I need is an easy to use package/code that can do the job.
As is often the case, a simple search would have yielded the answer to
this question:
RSiteSearch("Nelson-Siegel")

Please search before posting.
