When did the Treasury long term rate start?

The Long-Term Average Rate, “LT>25,” was the arithmetic average of the bid yields on all outstanding fixed-coupon securities (i.e., excluding Inflation-Indexed securities) with 25 years or more remaining to maturity. This series first appeared on February 19, 2002, following discontinuation of the 30-year Treasury constant maturity series.

How to calculate a 30 year Treasury rate?

To use the Extrapolation Factor to determine a 30-year proxy rate, add the factor to the 20-year Constant Maturity Rate. For example, if on a particular day the 20-year Constant Maturity was 5.40% and the Extrapolation Factor was 0.02%, then a 30-year theoretical rate would have been 5.40% + 0.02% = 5.42%.

The Treasury yield premium model by Jens H.E. Christensen and Glenn D. Rudebusch (CR) decomposes the nominal yield curve into three components: future short-term interest rate expectations, a term premium that measures bond investor aversion to the risk of holding longer-maturity bonds, and a model residual.

How are yields on Treasury securities interpolated?
