The Z-spread of a bond is the number of basis points (bp, or 0.01%) that one needs to add to the Treasury yield curve (or technically to Treasury forward rates) so that the Net present value of the bond cash flows (using the adjusted yield curve) equals the market price of the bond (including accrued interest). The spread is calculated iteratively.
Three trajectories of CIR processes. In mathematical finance, the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) model describes the evolution of interest rates.It is a type of "one factor model" (short-rate model) as it describes interest rate movements as driven by only one source of market risk.
In finance, bootstrapping is a method for constructing a (zero-coupon) fixed-income yield curve from the prices of a set of coupon-bearing products, e.g. bonds and swaps. [1]

Yield spread – difference between the quoted rates of return on two different investments; I-spread — difference between a bond yield and an interpolation from the Treasury yield curve; Z-spread — parallel spread of a bond yield over the zero-volatility Treasury yield curve
In finance, bond convexity is a measure of the non-linear relationship of bond prices to changes in interest rates, and is defined as the second derivative of the price of the bond with respect to interest rates (duration is the first derivative).

The Interpolated Spread, I-spread or ISPRD of a bond is the difference between its yield to maturity and the linearly interpolated yield for the same maturity on an appropriate reference yield curve. The reference curve may refer to government debt securities or interest rate swaps or other benchmark instruments, and should always be explicitly ...
