Fourier GLS/Evidence
Method evidence record

Fourier GLS

Fourier GLS embeds low-frequency trigonometric (Fourier) terms into a generalized least squares framework to capture smooth, gradual structural change in a time series without requiring the researcher to specify when or how many breaks occurred. The approach is particularly valued in unit root testing and cointegration analysis where conventional break-date assumptions may be arbitrary.
