is the forward rate between term and term ,
is the time length between time 0 and term (in years),
is the time length between time 0 and term (in years),
is the zero-coupon yield for the time period ,
is the zero-coupon yield for the time period ,

Famous quotes containing the words rate and/or calculation:
“This is the essential distinction—even opposition—between the painting and the film: the painting is composed subjectively, the film objectively. However highly we rate the function of the scenario writer—in actual practice it is rated very low—we must recognize that the film is not transposed directly and freely from the mind by means of a docile medium like paint, but must be cut piece-meal out of the lumbering material of the actual visible world.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation appled to life.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
