Structural Break GLS

Structural Break GLS combines Generalized Least Squares estimation with explicit allowance for regime shifts in the data-generating process. The method estimates separate coefficient vectors for each segment defined by detected break dates while correcting for non-spherical errors — heteroscedasticity or autocorrelation — that frequently accompany structural change, yielding consistent and efficient estimates across all regimes.
