YieldsFit: Computes two measures of model fit for bond yields (all models)

Description

Computes two measures of model fit for bond yields (all models)

Usage

YieldsFit(ModelType, ModelPara, FactorLabels, Economies)

Arguments

ModelType

a string-vector containing the label of the model to be estimated

ModelPara

List of model parameter estimates (See the "Optimization" function)

FactorLabels

a string-list based which contains the labels of all the variables present in the model

Economies

a string-vector containing the names of the economies which are part of the economic system

Details

"Model-implied yields" is the measure of fit based exclusively on the risk-neutral parameters, whereas the "Model-Fit" takes into account both the risk-neutral and the physical parameters.
