Nonlinear ADF Unit Root Test (KSS Test)
The Nonlinear ADF unit root test, most prominently operationalized by Kapetanios, Shin, and Snell (2003), extends the classical Augmented Dickey-Fuller test to detect mean reversion that occurs via an Exponential Smooth Transition Autoregressive (ESTAR) process. It tests the null of a unit root against a nonlinear stationary alternative, capturing adjustment dynamics that the standard linear ADF test misses.
