Fits yield curves using Nelson-Siegel (1987) <doi:10.1086/296409>, Svensson (1994) <doi:10.3386/w4871>, and cubic spline methods. Extracts forward rates, discount factors, and par rates from fitted curves. Computes duration and convexity risk measures. Computes Z-spread and key rate durations. Provides principal component decomposition following Litterman and Scheinkman (1991) <doi:10.3905/jfi.1991.692347>, carry and roll-down analysis, and slope measures. All methods are pure computation with no external dependencies beyond base R; works with yield data from any source.
