Explanation
Gauss+ is a multifactor model that incorporates short-, medium-, and long-term rates

macroeconomic variables. Medium-term rates revert to the long-term rate, while the
short-term rate is devoid of a random component—consistent with the role of the central
bank controlling short-term rates.
