A measure of statistical significance.
The worst yield that an investor could receive on a security, without there being a default by the issuer.


The t-statistic measures the likelihood that the observed data under review might have arisen randomly (rather than as a result of the proposed statistical relationship).
The calculation of the Yield to worst assumes 'worst case' outcomes - from the investor's perspective - for example in relation to the exercise of any options in favour of the issuer.
