Weights are OLS coefficients of the daily Nelson--Siegel factor change (percentage points) on the yield-day log return of each futures root (percent), so entries are in percentage points per percent. Left panel: one regression on all 2,707 yield days from 2016 with the six roots, with the constant (four decimals) and the $R^2$ in the last rows; no standard errors are reported. Right panel: mean and, in parentheses, standard deviation across quarters of the 64 rolling three-year estimates (2011Q1--2026Q4), over the quarters in which the root met the coverage rule of Table~\ref{tab:fidelity} (``Quarters included''). Root sets used out of sample: {ZT, ZF, ZN, TN, US, UB} in 33 quarters; {ZT, ZF, ZN, US, UB} in 24 quarters; {ZT, ZF, ZN, US} in 7 quarters; five roots from 2012Q4, six roots from 2018Q4.24\end{tablenotes}25\end{threeparttable}26\end{table}27
