All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class AugmentedDickeyFuller
extends HypothesisTest

The Augmented Dickey Fuller test tests whether a one-time differencing (d = 1) will make the time series stationary. That is, whether the series has a unit root.

Cheung and Lai (1995) pointed out that the lag order does have some effect on the critical values, esp. when the sample size is small.

The R equivalent function is adf.test in package tseries.

Constructor Detail

AugmentedDickeyFuller

public AugmentedDickeyFuller(double[] xt,
                             AugmentedDickeyFuller.TrendType type,
                             int lagOrder,
                             ADFDistribution dist)

Perform the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test statistics to test for the existence of uniroot.

Parameters:

xt - a time series

type - the trend type

lagOrder - the lags; when lagOrder == 0, we perform the standard Dickey-Fuller test.

dist - the ADF distribution to use; in general, the correct ADF distribution to use depends on the trend type, as well as lag order; to improve accuracy, the user may generate and use a customized ADF distribution; null if to use the default

AugmentedDickeyFuller

public AugmentedDickeyFuller(double[] xt)

Perform the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test statistics to test for the existence of uniroot.

Lag order is automatically selected as in R.

nLag = (int) Math.pow((series.length - 1, 1.0 / 3.0));

which corresponds to the suggested upper bound on the rate.

Parameters:

xt - a time series
