Σύνοψη	The nonlinear KPSS test extends the classic Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin stationarity test by modelling unknown smooth structural breaks in the deterministic trend using a Fourier approximation. Under the null hypothesis the series is stationary around a flexible nonlinear trend, guarding against spurious unit-root findings caused by regime shifts or gradual transitions.	The KPSS test, introduced by Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt and Shin in 1992, tests the null hypothesis that a series is stationary against the alternative that it contains a unit root — the reverse of the ADF and Phillips-Perron tests. By flipping the burden of proof, it is designed to be used alongside unit-root tests so that the two can confirm one another and expose ambiguous, borderline cases.	The Zivot-Andrews (ZA) test, introduced by Eric Zivot and Donald Andrews in 1992, is a sequential unit-root test that allows for a single structural break at an unknown date. It extends the augmented Dickey-Fuller framework by endogenously selecting the break point that provides the strongest evidence against the unit-root null hypothesis, making it particularly useful for macroeconomic and financial time series that may have been disrupted by events such as policy changes, financial crises, or supply shocks.
