This post demonstrates the implementation of deterministic shift adjustments in an arbitrage-free pricing framework using R and the NMOF package. I generate synthetic yield curve data using Nelson-Siegel and Nelson-Siegel-Svensson models, estimate short rates using three different methods, simulate interest rate paths, compute unadjusted zero-coupon bond prices, apply deterministic shift ...
