The ADF test is not the only test available for stationarity, there is also the Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) Test. However, in this test the null hypothesis is that the trend is stationary. To learn more about the process of hypothesis testing, see the references section. The ADF test extends the Dickey-Fuller test equation to include in the model a high order regressive process. It adds extra differencing terms, but the rest of the equation stays unchanged. (KPSS) test: The Kwiatkowski Phillips Schmidt Shin (KPSS) test determines if a time series is stationary around a mean or linear trend, or non In order to check if your time series is stationary, I recommend Dickey-Fuller and KPSS tests. In your case, the series clearly exhibits autocorrelation, so you should could use an Augmented Dickey-Fuller test (ADF). It will model the seasonality and test against a unit root (aka nonstationarity). Make sure that you do use the ADF, not the To test for stationarity of the stock market returns time series, we performed the ADF, PP, and KPSS unit root tests. 1 The results are reported in Table 2 below. None of the indexes time series (level and difference) exhibit statistically significant trends or intercepts when using the ADF and PP tests. Applicable to ADF and DFGLS tests, and for PP, KPSS, ERS, and NP tests that use a AR spectral density estimator ("hac=ar", "hac=ardt", or "hac=argls"). performs an ADF test on the series GDP with the test equation including a constant term and three lagged first-difference terms. Intermediate results are stored in the matrix MOUT. Details. ndiffs uses a unit root test to determine the number of differences required for time series x to be made stationary. If test="kpss", the KPSS test is used with the null hypothesis that x has a stationary root against a unit-root alternative. Then the test returns the least number of differences required to pass the test at the level alpha.If test="adf", the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Details. This function combines the existing functions adf.test, pp.test and kpss.test for testing the stationarity of a univariate time series x.. Value. The results are the same as one of the adf.test, pp.test, kpss.test, depending on which test are used.. Note. Missing values are removed. Author(s) Debin Qiu I already explained situations, in which the Nullhypothesis of an ADF-test is rejected and a time series is not-stationary. You should apply a KPSS test for stationarity as well. Reject unit root, reject stationarity: both hypothesis are component hypothesis >- heteroskedasticity in series may make a big difference; if there is structural DF-GLS test of Elliott, Rothenberg, Stock (Econometrica,1996). The standard Dickey-Fuller test is essentially an OLS regression: in the simplest form, of the difference of the series (∆Xt) on the lagged level of the series (Xt−1). The "Augmented" Dickey-Fuller or ADF test adds a number of lagged differences to the specification. I don't know how those tests work in detail, but one difference is that ADF test uses null hypothesis that a series contains a unit root, while KPSS test uses null hypothesis that the series is stationary.
