Exponential-splines fitting method.
Fits a discount function to the exponential form
\[ d(t) = \sum_{i=1}^9 c_i \exp^{-kappa i t} \]
where the constants \( c_i \) and \( \kappa \) are to be determined. See:Li, B., E. DeWetering, G. Lucas, R. Brenner and A. Shapiro (2001): "Merrill Lynch Exponential Spline Model." Merrill Lynch Working Paper
