hi Stefan

thanks for the reference but i do not have membership for the same. 
Moreover i wanted to do it through R i.e. making of spot yield curve 
through bootstrapping.
can you provide some links in R for the same. 

-gaurav.

Although it does not directly answer your question you might be
interested in:

Michalis Ioannides, A comparison of yield curve estimation techniques 
using UK data, Journal of Banking & Finance, Volume 27, Issue 1, , January 
2003, Pages 1-26.

Abstract: I compare different methods of estimating the term structure of 
interest rates on a daily UK treasury bill and gilt data that spans the 
period from January 1995 to January 1999. In-sample and out-of-sample 
statistics reveal the superior pricing ability of certain methods 
characterised by an exponential functional form. In addition to these 
standard goodness of fit statistics, model performance is judged in terms 
of two trading strategies based on model residuals. Both strategies reveal 
that parsimonious representations of the term structure perform better 
than their spline counterparts characterised by a linear functional form. 
This is valid even when abnormal returns are adjusted for market 
movements. Linear splines overfit the data and are likely to give 
misleading results.
