Unfortunately, most yield curve models tend to be theoretically rigorous but empirically disappointing, or empirically successful but theoretically lacking. In this book, Francis Diebold and Glenn Rudebusch propose two extensions of the classic yield curve model of Nelson and Siegel that are both theoretically rigorou UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=484849 ER -
