Michalis Ioannides, A comparison of yield curve estimation techniques using UK 
data, Journal of Banking & Finance, Volume 27, Issue 1, , January 2003, Pages 
1-26.

Abstract: I compare different methods of estimating the term structure of 
interest rates on a daily UK treasury bill and gilt data that spans the period 
from January 1995 to January 1999. In-sample and out-of-sample statistics 
reveal the superior pricing ability of certain methods characterised by an 
exponential functional form. In addition to these standard goodness of fit 
statistics, model performance is judged in terms of two trading strategies 
based on model residuals. Both strategies reveal that parsimonious 
representations of the term structure perform better than their spline 
counterparts characterised by a linear functional form. This is valid even when 
abnormal returns are adjusted for market movements. Linear splines overfit the 
data and are likely to give misleading results.
