Hi, I'm using the cubic splines from termstrc package. I invoked the splines_estim function with a group of 43 bonds. It computes 6 knot points and returns values for alpha1 to alpha7. My question is how to use these alpha1 to alpha7 in the equation of yield? For example, if I'm trying to find the yield at, say, 12.25 years, which falls between 3rd & 4th knot points what should the formula (expectedly a cubic polynomial with coefficients from the alpha set) for the computation be?
Any help is appreciated.
