This paper using Nelson-Siegel-Svensson model and polynomial spline model fitting analysis is carried out on bond transaction data of inter-bank in China, through analysis and comparison of the two models, to choose the appropriate method to fit the term structure of interest rates.

Keywords: term structure; interest rates; spot rates; polynomial spline; Svensson model; static modelling; inter-bank bond markets; bond transactions; China.
